In his address, March Pujol said humanity is entering a new era driven by intelligence, where artificial intelligence will significantly influence communication, education, mobility, governance, and global cooperation. He stressed that while AI can enhance efficiency and connectivity, human creativity, ethical judgment, and responsibility must remain central to decision-making. Drawing from history and nature, he argued that technological progress should lead to human flourishing rather than conflict or division.

The Great Reset: CTRL+ALT+HUMAN examines critical civilisational transitions and the evolving relationship between technology and humanity, and uses a narrative form to explore how political structures and human values must adapt in the age of artificial intelligence.

Before concluding the visit, the ambassador interacted with students during a Q&A session, where questions focused on the future of AI, employment, education, and responsible governance. He encouraged students to view AI as a tool that expands human potential rather than replaces it.

The event concluded with renewed emphasis on the role of universities and young minds in shaping an inclusive and ethical technological future.
