From 16 to 20 June, Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) welcomed international students and lecturers to an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) focused on “Artificial Intelligence Risks in Business: Legal, Cultural, and Ethical Aspects.”

Participants from universities in Poland, Austria, and Latvia gathered in Vilnius for five days of intensive learning, exploring both the opportunities and challenges posed by the application of artificial intelligence in business contexts.

According to Oleg Beriozov, Head of Studies and Research at the KSU Institute of Law and Technology and one of the programme’s organisers, the participants enthusiastically engaged in the academic activities, delving into the impact of AI on business processes, legal frameworks, and consumer behaviour.

“Each day was dedicated to the analysis of practical case studies, interactive discussions, and solution development. The goal was to enhance participants’ ability to critically evaluate AI-related decisions in real-life scenarios. The discussions and reflections once again demonstrated the wide array of challenges and possibilities that AI brings to the modern business environment,” he noted.

The lectures and workshops were delivered by the KSU academic team, led by lecturer Ramūnas Jucevičius, a specialist in AI regulation and risk management.

In addition to the academic programme, participants had the opportunity to explore Vilnius Old Town, which, according to their feedback, left a lasting impression.

Such international initiatives not only strengthen the European higher education community but also promote intercultural dialogue, the exchange of ideas, and the adoption of innovative teaching methods. As many participants shared, they are leaving not only with new knowledge, but also with meaningful experiences and connections that have enriched them as members of the global academic community.
