As a founding member of MEDEA and a leading voice in AI policy, Andrea Stazi continues to shape the future of education through innovation and inclusion. In an interview with HuffPost Italia, Andrea shared how Multiversity—Italy’s largest digital education group, encompassing Pegaso, Mercatorum, and San Raffaele Roma—has become a pioneer in integrating artificial intelligence into university learning.
Andrea emphasized the development of virtual labs and immersive environments that simulate real-world scenarios, enhancing engagement and practical learning. While the universities are primarily online, they also maintain physical research spaces, such as advanced labs in Rome, ensuring a hybrid model that promotes accessibility and inclusion.
Multiversity positions itself as an experimental hub for digital education, aiming to bridge regional and economic divides. Andrea believes that AI is not just a technological advancement but a strategic ally for inclusion, quality, and career readiness. “Young people already use AI naturally. By integrating it responsibly into education, we can restore the joy of learning and prepare them for the future,” Andrea noted.
