As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries, education, and everyday life, Instituto Cervantes de Manila and the Embassy of Spain are organizing a two-day event on August 12 and 13, 2025, dedicated to examining AI’s growing influence on society and the human experience.
The speaker for both events is Dr. Nerea Luis Mingueza, a prominent Spanish computer scientist and AI engineer, who holds a PhD in Computer Science with more than ten years of experience in artificial intelligence. Dr. Luis is traveling to Manila to deliver a series of talks on artificial intelligence, sharing her expertise on ethical AI, automation, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines.
The first discussion will take place on August 12 at 5:00 PM at Instituto Cervantes Manila (Intramuros Branch). Entitled “Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Humans?”, in this colloquium Dr. Nerea Luis will be joined by Dr. Ethel C. Ong, Dean of the College of Computer Studies at De La Salle University, whose academic work mainly connects computer science research with applications in learning, mental healthcare and cybersafety. Together, they will explore key issues shaping the global conversation on artificial intelligence, including how AI will transform the way we learn, how it will redefine the future of work, and how society can best prepare for a world where intelligent systems play an increasingly central role in daily life. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance through this link: https://forms.office.com/e/mjRs2bCTaB
The second session is a seminar entitled “AI and the Future of Work: 2025-2035. What Can We Expect?”. In collaboration with FEU’s Institute of Arts and Sciences-Department of Mathematics, this seminar will be held on August 13 at 10:00 am at FEU Manila campus. In this session, Dr. Nerea Luis will explore the role of AI in education, innovation, and the future of digital learning environments.
This two-day event offers a valuable opportunity for the public to engage with global experts, gain deeper insights into the evolving world of artificial intelligence, and reflect on the role we all play in shaping a responsible and inclusive digital future.
Organized by Instituto Cervantes Manila, in partnership with the Embassy of Spain in the Philippines, AECID and Far Eastern University-Institute of Arts and Sciences, these sessions are open to students, professionals, educators, and the general public.
