Frederic Marimon, director of the OIANT, and Joan Hernández, lecturer at the Faculty of Communication Sciences, opened the event by emphasising that the initiative seeks to recognise and support innovative projects that incorporate artificial intelligence into teaching. It aims to foster education that is more inclusive, accessible and responsive to the needs of the 21st century.
