School competition as good practice in educating young people

Abstract

The historical period in which we are living is certainly the one with the highest rate of technological innovation in human history. The advancement of digital-based solutions is generating significant transformations affecting all sectors, and the incessant exponential, combinatorial and recursive changes force us to talk about society 5.0 and ethics. Technological progress continues to grow according to Moore's Law: the performance curve follows an exponential trend, discoveries integrate with each other, each contributing to the development of the others, and new technologies come to update themselves through what is called recursive improvement, as for example happens with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning. Every area of society, from communications to media, from energy to medicine, from schools to universities, undergoes structural change on a daily basis.
