AI4Everyone Presentation at the 2nd CEPIS International Conference on Digital Skills and IT Professionalism (ICODSIP)

Dr Styliani Kleanthous represented the Open University of Cyprus at the conference organized by the Cyprus Computer Society - CCS and CEPIS, in collaboration with 10 universities in Cyprus and under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, "Educational and Career Choices in STEM Sciences", on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in Nicosia. In her opening statement, she referred to the role of education in understanding the possibilities and limitations of Artificial Intelligence, but also to the importance of women's participation in the design and development of AI technologies. Diversity in the teams that create these technologies is not just a matter of equality, it is a prerequisite for more reliable and equitable systems. The conference was attended by educators of public and private schools in Cyprus.

Panel Invitation - Women4Cyber and the Office of the Commissioner of Communications on "Digital Era and AI"

On Tuesday (11/11/2025) Dr. Styliani Kleanthous took part in a very interesting discussion and exchanged ideas in a panel about how we can build a more informed and critically thinking society in the digital age.

We need education, digital literacy, and critical thinking so that citizens can consciously trust the information they consume every day. The most successful examples show that collaboration between humans and AI can empower both sides, making use of the best of human judgment and machine analysis. If we learn from these examples, we can design social platforms that foster critical thinking rather than manipulate it. The active participation of citizens in shaping our digital future is crucial for building a democratic, fair, and inclusive society.

AI4Everyone Inauguration Event

As part of the kick-off, the consortium hosted an online Inauguration Event on September 19 (10:00–11:30 EET), which attracted over 60 participants from academia, education, and the wider public. The event introduced the project’s objectives and partners, while also opening a dialogue on critical topics such as EU regulatory initiatives on AI, the role of education in shaping trust and awareness, and the importance of fostering AI literacy for all citizens.

The AI4Everyone project will develop open educational resources, MOOCs, and practical AI learning tools, aiming to bridge the digital skills gap and ensure that citizens, students, and professionals are better equipped to understand and responsibly use AI in their daily lives.
