On 29 May 2026, members of the PATH-AI project team took part in the 16th International Conference Lean Learning Academy, entitled “Simulations and Artificial Intelligence in Modern Industry”. The conference was held at Rzeszów University of Technology and provided an important opportunity to disseminate the PATH-AI project and present selected results of the consortium’s work to a wider academic and professional audience.
As part of the conference programme, Roberto Sala from the University of Bergamo delivered a presentation entitled “Mapping the landscape of generative AI in higher education: a systematic review and multi-stakeholder perspective on acceptable use”. The presentation focused on the evidence gathered through the literature review and stakeholder interviews, which support the development of practical guidelines for the acceptable and responsible use of GenAI in teaching, learning and assessment.
Victoria Grech from the University of Malta presented “Towards responsible generative AI in higher education: policy frameworks and ELSI risk assessment for ethical integration”. Her presentation addressed policy frameworks, governance gaps and ethical, legal and social risks related to the integration of AI in higher education. The contribution highlighted the need to move from general principles of responsible AI towards practical governance mechanisms, accountability structures and safeguards.
The conference programme also included a presentation by Joseph Paul Zammit from the University of Malta entitled “TRAINEE: Advanced Mixed Reality for simulating Human-Centric Production – Empowering Engineering Talent”. The presentation referred to the use of advanced mixed reality for human-centric production simulation and the development of engineering competences.
The participation of PATH-AI team members in the conference supported the dissemination of the project’s objectives, ongoing work and emerging results. It also created an opportunity to exchange knowledge, receive feedback and strengthen dialogue on the responsible, transparent and human-centred use of artificial intelligence in higher education and modern industry.
