The Importance of Developing Socio-Emotional Skills for Life
Currently, there is increasing scientific evidence on the importance of personality traits in areas of society that have a vital impact (Gutman & Schoon, 2013; Heckman & Kautz, 2012; Kautz et al, 2014; Roberts et al., 2007). In particular, these studies suggest that various personality attributes have a substantial influence on education: achievement, job status, productivity, job and life satisfaction, and health, among other areas.
A closely related concept to personality that should be introduced is that of soft skills or socio-emotional competencies, considered as the skills or competencies of the 21st century (Murnane & Levy, 1996), which are associated with personality traits (Kyllonien 2012). They are non-cognitive skills (for example, perseverance, self-control, or growth mindset) that facilitate efforts towards goal achievement, healthy social relationships, and appropriate decision-making. They also allow predicting people’s academic, economic, social, psychological performance, and physical well-being (Duckworth and Yeager, 2015).
Practical Applications
During the conference, practical cases were presented to demonstrate how Human AI is being used at various educational levels and in sports to effectively assess and develop socio-emotional skills. These tools enable teachers to intervene more effectively and personally, resulting in significant improvements in school environments and classroom dynamics.
Towards a More Holistic Education
The event highlighted that integrating technology, such as the Human AI platform, not only enables more objective assessments of socio-emotional competencies, but also paves the way for more effective and personalized interventions by both teachers and parents.
Through initiatives like this, the participating organizations reaffirm their commitment to leading educational innovation in the country. Further promoting the holistic well-being of students, and fostering an educational approach that encompasses all dimensions of human development.

Education in Digital Environments – Bilbao European Encounters 2024
A Commitment to Digital Education
The Bilbao European Encounters 2024 began with an opening speech by Juan Mari Aburto, Mayor of Bilbao, emphasizing the importance of making digitalization in education inclusive and accessible to all. “Technology in education is not a luxury; it is a necessity. We must ensure that no student is left behind in this digital transformation,” said Aburto, reaffirming Bilbao’s commitment to equitable education in the digital context.
Is Digitalization the Solution?
The first panel, Education in Digital Environments, tackled the critical question of the impact of digitalization and education in the era of artificial intelligence. Moderated by Eider Inunciaga, Bilbao’s Councilor for Euskera and Citizen Participation, the discussion featured prominent figures like Carlos Magro, President of the Open Education Association, and María Beunza, CEO of Human AI Tech.
The session explored both opportunities and challenges brought by digitalization in education. One highlight was whether digital tools solve educational challenges or magnify them. “Technology by itself is neither the solution nor the problem. It is how we integrate it into the classroom that makes the difference,” emphasized Carlos Magro. His comment underlined that the challenge isn’t just access to digital tools but their pedagogical application.
From a tech standpoint, Beunza highlighted AI’s transformative potential when effectively implemented. “AI can personalize education, detect socio-emotional skills, and adapt to each student. But it is the teacher who must guide the process, not the machine,” she stressed, underscoring that technology cannot replace the human role in education.
The Digital Divide and Ethical Use of Technology
The widening digital divide emerged as a critical issue during the debate. Although the pandemic accelerated digital adoption in education, it also exposed significant inequalities. “Digitalization risks increasing the gap between those who have access to critical technology use and those who do not,” warned Magro, reflecting the concerns of educators who struggle to maximize the value of classroom devices.
Ethical considerations were also a focus. “What’s exciting about AI is that, for the first time, ethics is at the center of the discussion,” said María Beunza, highlighting the importance of transparency and avoiding perpetuating biases through digital tools. “If we don’t control algorithms, we let technology decide for us, potentially reinforcing inequalities,” she cautioned, urging critical reflection on AI’s role in education.
Questions From the Public: The Voice of Educators
“How are teachers expected to adapt to such a rapidly changing environment when we are already overwhelmed with work and lack resources to train in new technologies?”
Magro replied decisively: “Technology evolves faster than educators can adapt, but the problem isn’t the technology itself—it’s the lack of resources to support this transformation. Innovation must be accompanied by continuous training, which requires investment.” Beunza added, “The key is not mastering every new tool but developing critical digital competencies that allow adaptation to future developments.”
Innovation: At what cost?
The term innovation permeated the discussions, but both speakers agreed that it is often misunderstood. “Innovation for innovation’s sake is a mistake. Technology in education must serve a clear purpose: to improve learning,” stated Beunza. Magro called for thorough evaluation before implementing new technologies at scale: “We’re obsessed with introducing screens and devices into classrooms, but have we truly tested if they improve educational outcomes? What’s missing is evaluation.”
The Future of Education
The panel concluded with a cautiously optimistic message. “Digitalization can be a powerful tool, but it must never replace the human factor. The key is finding a balance between technology and humanity in education,” Beunza remarked in closing.
Magro urged the education community to remain vigilant: “We must not let technology overwhelm us. Digital sovereignty begins in classrooms, teaching students to be critical thinkers and not blindly depend on digital tools.”
This debate made it clear that education stands at a pivotal moment. Technology can be an ally, but only if integrated with clear pedagogical goals and accompanied by ethical and critical reflection.
Ethical and Pedagogical Reflections
During the second panel of the Bilbao European Encounters 2024, titled “Educating Intelligence in a Digital Environment,” philosophers José Antonio Marina and Daniel Innerarity delved into the complexities and challenges posed by artificial intelligence in education. Marina emphasized the need to redefine intelligence in a context where technology seems to be at the forefront of educational transformation. “AI can be part of the solution, but educational problems are only solved through pedagogy and community,” stated Marina, highlighting the importance of human intervention in utilizing these tools.
Daniel Innerarity, for his part, reflected on the duality represented by technology: “AI is a powerful tool, but we cannot overlook the ethical questions it raises. The real challenge is not just incorporating technology but doing so in a way that fosters critical thinking and intellectual autonomy in students.” Innerarity stressed that education cannot rely solely on technology, as it cannot replace deeply human cognitive processes like empathy and moral judgment.
Both speakers agreed that the future of education must focus on shaping individuals capable of using digital tools while maintaining the ability to reflect ethically on their use. This debate underscored the importance of preparing new generations not just to be consumers of technology but also to be critical and responsible citizens in an increasingly digitalized world.

On October 9, during the 10th Conference on Safety and Risk Management in Mental Health held at the Official College of Physicians of Navarra, prominent medical and technology experts gathered to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on mental health care.
The event, organized by Hermanas Hospitalarias Navarra, coincided with World Mental Health Day and provided a platform to reflect on how AI can transform the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.
Technological Innovation in Healthcare
The event was inaugurated by Miryam Zabalza, Managing Director of Hermanas Hospitalarias Navarra, who emphasized the importance of technological innovation in healthcare. “Mental health needs innovation and tools that help us offer a more humanized and effective service,” Zabalza stated in her opening remarks. On the other hand, Olga Sala, Deputy Director of Assessment and Services at the Navarre Agency for Autonomy and Development of People, highlighted that “it is essential to use this technology in our research and clinical practice to improve patients’ mental health, always from an ethical and responsible perspective.”
In his presentation, Raymond Salvador, representing the Fundación Hermanas Hospitalarias, spoke about how AI can expand access to medical services in resource-limited areas. “Artificial intelligence opens doors to new forms of care that were previously unimaginable, and we must harness this potential.” Salvador emphasized, underscoring how this technology can ensure greater equity in healthcare, particularly in geographically challenging regions.
Bioethics and Artificial Intelligence
Another key topic addressed during the event was the ethical framework guiding the use of AI in medicine. Rafael Amo Usanos, Director of the Bioethics Chair at the Universidad Pontificia Comillas, discussed the challenges and opportunities AI presents from a bioethical standpoint. According to Amo, technology must be used to promote individuals’ well-being and dignity without attempting to replicate or replace human intelligence. “AI should serve bioethics, always fostering human well-being and dignity,” Amo asserted, adding that while technology cannot replace human decision-making, it can guide it in a more informed and precise manner.
Panel Discussion: Building a Creative AI Community
A roundtable discussion, moderated by Pablo Moreno Flores, Medical Director of Hermanas Hospitalarias Navarra, provided a comprehensive view of AI applications in mental health. Participants emphasized the need to build a creative and collaborative community around AI in this field.
Francisco Ferre Navarrete: AI as an Ally for Personalized Care
During the discussion, Dr. Francisco Ferre Navarrete, Head of Adult Psychiatry at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid, explained how digitalization and proper AI implementation can significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment personalization.
“AI is a fundamental ally for delivering more personalized care, allowing mental health professionals to focus on what truly matters: the patient’s well-being.”
María Beunza: Personality Analysis Through AI
María Beunza, CEO of Human AI Tech, discussed how AI can analyze patients’ personalities. She explained that tools developed by Human AI enable the analysis of socio-emotional skills without traditional tests, offering a faster and more precise approach.
Beunza demonstrated how this technology can assist not only in diagnostic evaluation but also in treatment personalization. Adapting to the emotional and psychological needs of each individual.
“Artificial intelligence doesn’t just complement medicine; it also helps humanize it. Personality analysis can be pivotal in offering more personalized and effective treatments.”
Antonio Rosa Castillo: Practical Applications and Ethical Challenges of AI
Antonio Rosa Castillo, a professor at the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Barcelona, concluded the session with a detailed analysis of AI’s practical applications in mental health, from its origins to current challenges.
“AI has come a long way, but there is still much to do. Healthcare professionals must be prepared and trained to use these technologies effectively.”
Balancing Technology with Human Interaction
A recurring theme was the ethical challenge posed by AI implementation in mental health care. “How can we ensure that the technological tools we design not only improve care but also preserve humanity in every interaction?” This dilemma underscores the need to design systems that maintain empathy and human sensitivity, especially in delicate fields like mental health.
The challenge is not just technical but also ethical. As AI becomes more integrated into patient care, developing regulatory and ethical frameworks to guide its responsible implementation is crucial. Rosa Castillo urged attendees to consider how to balance technological efficiency with human connection, ensuring AI complements rather than replaces empathetic care.
“AI cannot replace doctors, but it can enhance them as professionals.”
Looking Ahead
The conference concluded with remarks from Sara Chivite, Mental Health Manager at the Navarre Health Service – Osasunbidea. She thanked the speakers for their valuable contributions on AI and mental health. Furthermore, she emphasized the importance of ongoing research and discussion about the future of mental health in a rapidly advancing technological world. “It is imperative to continue working together to ensure AI is a tool that benefits patients and improves their quality of life,” Chivite concluded.
AI has immense potential to revolutionize mental health and many other aspects of our lives. However, as Antonio Rosa Castillo noted, it is vital to maintain a balanced and critical attitude: “This is not about catastrophizing but about using technology responsibly.” AI should be seen as a powerful tool, and it is our responsibility to guide its development to improve lives without compromising humanity.
At Human AI Tech, we firmly believe that artificial intelligence is not just a tool for data analysis but an opportunity to bring human value to healthcare. Mental health requires a comprehensive approach where technology aligns with professionals to make better decisions and deliver more accurate and personalized care.

This accounts for less than 0.15% of the total population of women and girls with disabilities (2 million). The project seeks to transform this reality, fostering a more inclusive and equitable future.
Human AI at the XXVII National Psychiatry Congress
Prominent researchers and healthcare institutions are conducting the groundbreaking PersonIA Study. This pioneering research, led byDr. Manuel Martín—Medical Director of Hermanas Hospitalarias in the Basque Country (Aita Menni) and Navarra, and President of the Spanish Society of Psychiatry and Mental Health—aims to validate an AI model capable of assessing personality in individuals with common mental disorders.
The PersonIA Study
This study investigates the accuracy of artificial intelligence when predicting key aspects of personality based on text written by patients’ in natural language. The use of AI in this field is revolutionary, offering faster, less intrusive, and more tailored analyses. Findings from the first phase of the PersonIA study were presented by Dr. Manuel Martín at the XXVII National Psychiatry Congress, cementing Human AI’s role as a key player at the intersection of technology and mental health.
The study was conducted in collaboration with renowned institutions including: the Navarra Health System, the University Clinic of Navarra, Hermanas Hospitalarias in Navarra, and Aita Menni. Researchers from the Affective and Cognitive Psychology Methods and Research Laboratory (MIPAC) and the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute (DATAI) at the University of Navarra also participated in this initial phase. This multidisciplinary team ensured the model was tested on a clinical sample of adults, providing robust results for this first stage.
Promising findings demonstrate the AI model’s ability to deliver accurate assessments in clinical settings, compared to traditional methods such as the NEO-PI-R. These results highlight the potential of PersonIA to revolutionize personality assessment, especially for individuals with mild or common mental disorders.
Purpose and Methodology of PersonIA
The primary goal of the PersonIA project is to validate an artificial intelligence model capable of evaluating personality. It is based on both free-form and guided natural language texts. During the study, participants wrote autobiographical texts and answered questions designed to capture various personality traits based on the OCEAN model.
The AI model leverages advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze linguistic, semantic, and contextual patterns in large volumes of text. Preliminary results indicate that the model is valid for predicting personality traits, overcoming some limitations of traditional psychometric evaluations.
Future Perspectives
This breakthrough is just the beginning. As the project moves into new phases, it paves the way for a significant transformation in how personality is assessed in mental health, introducing third-generation tools. PersonIA has the potential to revolutionize psychological and psychiatric evaluations, making them more accessible, comprehensive, accurate, and human-centered.

The person is more than his or her personality. Personality characteristics, indeed, shape human behavior and influence different and relevant areas of life. Personality matters, and because it matters, it has an impact.
Our personality characteristics impact both the direct effects on our life achievements and through indirect effects on other personal factors such as the development of non-cognitive abilities, interpersonal competencies, academic performance, family well-being, performance in the work environment, social inclusion, and the general well-being of the individual and society as a whole.
In fact, there is evidence in psychological and empirical research on its importance and substantial influence in various areas such as education, sports, success, status, productivity, job, family and life satisfaction, health itself, etc.
Measuring personality and predicting your success
Performance tests generally overlook, or do not adequately assess, the soft skills (personality traits, competencies, goals, motivations, preferences) that are so highly valued today in the job market, in schools and in many other sectors. Assessing soft skills makes it possible to predict a person’s achievement and success.
Studies therefore underline the need to incorporate more routinely the measurement of personality in quality of life surveys, psychology tests, vocational orientation, personnel selection, etc. in order to develop one’s own human talent. Somehow assessing our personality helps us to predict the impact and success in our personal fulfillment.
Personality and its impact on education
In relation to education and training, personality development matters a lot. For example, different studies have shown that the “Responsibility” factor has a high impact on educational performance.
Among the eight key competencies listed in the European Framework for Lifelong Learning, Kankaras shows that at least four refer mainly to personality traits and “non-cognitive” skills, or so-called soft skills:
Learning to learn: includes self-discipline, perseverance and motivation.
Social and civic competencies : involves communication skills, tolerance, empathy and knowing how to cope with stress.
Sense of initiative and leadership. Entrepreneurship: in relation to the ability to plan and manage projects, leadership skills, innovation and risk-taking.
Cultural expression and awareness. Creativity: Key elements include appreciation and understanding of diverse cultural forms of expression of ideas, experiences and emotions.
It matters how we are and how we are formed; so getting to know, evaluate and adequately enhance the personality in human growth and development is a challenge. A challenge in which artificial intelligence can be a great means and our best ally. Technology at the service of human development.
Our personality has a certain power in decision making, because we make what we are and we make ourselves by being. Let’s learn to know ourselves better to decide better and be what we really want to be.

It aims to promote the employability of students from the first year of their university studies by reinforcing transversal employment skills throughout all the years of academic training.
To this end, they are evaluated through the HumanAI tool, which provides them with an individual report analyzing different skills and competencies. With the results of this evaluation, a personalized training itinerary will be drawn up to enhance the necessary competencies through group training modules and individual orientation sessions.
The last phase of the project foresees a second evaluation with HumanAI to verify the impact of the training received on the development of employability skills and the evolution of the corresponding competencies. Students will be able to apply for the recognition of ECTS and micro-credentials credits according to the training modules completed and their participation in the program.
