<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The digital transformation is inextricably influencing our lives today. The constant flow of data and technological innovations have reshaped the way we live. The advent of technologies such as cloud
computing, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given rise to an interconnected digital ecosystem, where billions of devices generate an enormous amount of data and information. This "data explosion” is much more than a mere technological
challenge. It is a true revolution that is profoundly affecting our society.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Data Science holds the key to tame this revolution. It allows to make the most of this huge amount of data, creating concrete value out of it while enabling new, smart processes and applications.
Through sophisticated algorithms and advanced analysis techniques, data science allows to extract knowledge from this mass of raw data, reveal hidden patterns, predict future trends, and support sound decision-making. Data science promises, and is already
delivering, unmatched efficiency and efficacy touching every sector of our society, from smart cities that optimize traffic and resource management, to intelligent transportation systems that improve safety and efficiency, to digital healthcare that promises
more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments. In the industrial sector, the analysis of data from production lines optimizes processes, reduces waste, and improves quality. In finance, machine learning algorithms predict market trends, assess credit
risk, and prevent fraud. Data science is thus becoming the engine of progress, opening new frontiers and offering innovative solutions to complex problems.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">

<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">However, this data-driven revolution comes with new challenges. On the one hand, security and privacy, as well as additional non-functional requirements, must be enforced along the entire data-driven
pipeline, from data ingestion to AI model deployment, demanding a rethink of the traditional CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) triad. On the other hand, a whole new set of (legal) requirements emerge, starting from the ethical implications of
AI, to ensure that data-driven technologies are used responsibly and for the benefit of the society as a whole. In addition, a responsible usage of these technologies also implies the usage of large computing infrastructures in a sober, environment-friendly
manner.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">

<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In a nutshell, the data-driven ecosystem represents an extraordinary opportunity for progress and innovation. This means that a multidisciplinary approach is needed to fully exploit its potential,
integrating technological, scientific, and ethical skills. This is the only way to build a future in which data are at the service of humanity, contributing to creating a just, sustainable, and prosperous society.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
