/in , , , , /by



BEOK Project – “Emotions & Entrepreneurship Binomial”

On Monday, December 2, CIFP Carlos III hosted the event “Emotions & Entrepreneurship Binomial,” which highlighted the importance of emotions as a cross-cutting theme in education, employment, and personal well-being.

The event was part of the BE OK Project, an initiative aimed at promoting emotional well-being in the classroom, preventing bullying, and encouraging positive coexistence. Activities during the event included the “That Thing We Love” Monologue Contest and the roundtable discussion “Entrepreneurship with Heart,” featuring professionals from organizations such as AMEP, CAVI Cartagena, and ASES. Topics such as mental health and diversity inclusion were also addressed, with support from local authorities in Cartagena, including Cristina Mora Menéndez de la Vega, Councilor for the Department of Social Policy, Equality, and Family.



The Importance of Socio-Emotional Competencies


The presentation by Cristóbal Sánchez, FCT Tutor in Commercial Activities at CIFP Carlos III, offered a comprehensive perspective on the need to work on Social and Emotional Skills (SSES, Survey on Social and Emotional Skills) as the foundation for holistic education and each student’s professional development. Cristóbal emphasized that:

  • SSES can be trained, ranging from digital emotional literacy to emotional regulation, including skills such as empathy, resilience, and decision-making.
  • Neglecting emotional development has significant consequences, including mental health issues like anxiety and depression, interpersonal conflicts, and lower academic performance.
  • Working on emotions not only improves well-being but is also essential for professional success, enhancing resilience, motivation, and personal initiative.

He also highlighted that SSES have a direct impact on:

  • Academic performance – improving learning outcomes and reducing dropout rates.
  • Emotional health – lowering anxiety, bullying, and school absenteeism.
  • Employability – developing essential job skills such as empathy and collaboration.


It was also emphasized that there is a pressing need to train teachers in emotional education, update educational curricula, and leverage the current legal framework to integrate SSES as a core component of learning.



Human AI: AI in the Service of Socio-Emotional Development

In this context, our CEO María Beunza joined the event virtually to present Human AI as an innovative technological solution for assessing and developing socio-emotional competencies. María emphasized that evaluating SSES is not just an innovation—it is a necessity recognized by global organizations like the OECD and UNESCO to bridge education, employability, and well-being.

María shared how Human AI enables:

  • The evaluation of over 35 socio-emotional competencies without the need for questionnaires or traditional tests, providing accurate and objective results.
  • The transformation of language into data, and data into personalized reports that guide both educational institutions and HR departments in strategic decision-making.
  • The generation of practical insights for students, professionals, and organizations—enabling evidence-based decisions.
  • A deeper understanding of potential, helping students and professionals turn their talents into real impact by connecting socio-emotional skills to career success.

We are also proud to announce that CIFP Carlos III has joined our innovation lab by participating in the TutorIA Project. Alongside institutions such as Jesuitinas School and the Itínere Educational Network, this collaboration aims to foster students’ holistic development through the evaluation and strengthening of SSES.

We thank CIFP Carlos III for creating this space for reflection and innovation, allowing us to move forward toward a more human-centered approach to education.

AI & IB: Assessing Key Competencies

/in , , , /by

The IB’s mission, centered on the holistic development of students, seeks not only academic success but also the formation of global citizens equipped with critical and socio-emotional skills—empowering them to become agents of change. In this context, Human AI’s artificial intelligence is a strategic ally for IB schools, offering an innovative tool to assess and develop the socio-emotional skills (SES) essential to achieving the core attributes of the IB Learner Profile. This evaluation is conducted using students’ natural language texts of at least 800 words—no traditional tests or questionnaires required—eliminating self-perception bias in the process.



A Holistic AI Approach: Competencies and IB Attributes

The IB defines ten key attributes that describe learners as inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective. These form the foundation of holistic learning and align closely with socio-emotional competencies.

Human AI has developed a tool that translates these attributes into measurable competencies—such as intellectual curiosity (inquirer), collaboration (communicator), and emotional regulation (risk-taker). This approach not only complements traditional academic assessment but also provides teachers and school leaders with a more comprehensive view of student growth.


Research from the University of Oxford’s Wellbeing Research Centre, in collaboration with the IB, reinforces the importance of student well-being for both academic and personal development. Recent studies show that a comprehensive approach to well-being in schools enhances motivation, engagement, academic achievement, and socio-emotional skills.



Evidence and Impact of Well-Being in IB Education


The Wellbeing in Schools in Childhood and Adolescence study by the University of Oxford highlights the relationship between student well-being and academic achievement across diverse educational contexts. Key findings include:

  • Well-being has a direct impact on academic performance, with effects observed in countries such as the United Kingdom, China, Chile, Australia, France, Germany, Bhutan, Mexico, and Peru.
  • Whole-school approaches to well-being improve both academic and socio-emotional outcomes, including mental health, self-esteem, motivation, and reduced dropout rates.
  • Effective strategies involve the participation of teachers, families, and the broader school community, along with the development of self-regulated learning skills.


The Wellbeing Impact Study further supports these findings, showing that school well-being initiatives have a direct impact not only on academic performance but also on student motivation and personal development.


These findings reinforce the role of tools like Human AI, which not only assess but actively promote more personalized and equitable education grounded in student well-being.



Human AI’s Contribution: Innovation in Assessment

Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing, Human AI offers precise and objective assessments of competencies such as critical reflection, empathy, and emotional balance. This system is designed to align with the IB framework, supporting schools in:

  • Identifying each student’s strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Personalizing learning to meet the unique needs of every learner.
  • Fostering a culture of continuous feedback—an essential element of the IB’s pedagogical model. en el modelo pedagógico del IB.

By integrating Human AI, educators gain practical tools to translate the IB’s ideals into measurable outcomes, helping students reach their full potential.



Benefits of AI for IB Schools and Their Students

  • Personalized Learning – SES assessment helps teachers design instructional strategies tailored to each student’s profile.
  • Holistic Development – Students not only succeed academically but also build essential skills for their personal and professional lives.
  • Support for Educators – Human AI reports provide valuable insights to enhance teaching practice, including student-level data and actionable guidelines for developing socio-emotional competencies.
  • Future Readiness – The competencies evaluated are highly valued in global contexts—from higher education to the job market.



Toward a More Human and Technological Education

The International Baccalaureate (IB) stands out for its commitment to innovative and transformative education. In this context, collaborating with Human AI’s artificial intelligence represents a significant step forward in integrating technologies that not only assess, but also promote more human-centered learning.

By adopting advanced tools like Human AI, IB schools can strengthen their holistic approach and ensure that their students are prepared to lead with empathy, reflection, and creativity in the 21st century.

Artificial intelligence and innovation

/in , , , , /by

Technological innovation uses various disruptive areas to have a positive impact. Currently, one of those that is having the greatest impact on our lives and on public opinion is artificial intelligence (AI), one of the innovative technologies of the digital revolution.

The field of artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress in recent years and is having a real impact on people. Although the current state of AI technology is still a long way from the foundational aspiration of recreating human-like intelligence, research and development teams are taking advantage of these advances and progressively incorporating them. The ability of computer programs to perform sophisticated text, image and language processing tasks has advanced significantly; for example, in healthcare it is already becoming a reality.

Taking the pulse of innovation

Stanford has a dedicated center that publishes rigorous reports every 4 years on the state and projections for the future, as well as the impact on people and society. This report describes active areas of AI research and innovation poised to have a beneficial impact in the near term.

“Artificial intelligence technology is progressing in so many directions and progress is being driven by so many different organizations that it will surely continue. AI100 is an innovative and forward-thinking response to this trend, an opportunity for us as a society to determine the path of our future and not simply let it develop without us noticing.”

Tom Mitchell, Professor and researcher of Maching Leraning, AI and cognitive neuroscience.

Taking the pulse of technological innovation these days is essential. Only on the basis of a real impact analysis of AI will it be possible to make the right decisions, with a goodtech approach and with ethical and responsible criteria. Artificial intelligence seems to be the future, but it is important to make sure that it is a future in which we want and can live as humans.

What are the most promising opportunities for AI?

One of the opportunities the report notes involves AI capable of augmenting human capabilities. Such systems can be valuable in situations where humans and AI have complementary strengths.

For example, in healthcare, an AI system can synthesize large amounts of clinical data to identify a set of treatments for a particular patient along with potential side effects; a human physician can work with the patient to identify which option best suits his or her lifestyle and goals, and explore creative ways to mitigate side effects that were not part of the AI design space.

An AI system may be better at synthesizing available data while a human being may be better at understanding the implications of the data, working with objectives that are difficult to fully quantify and identifying creative actions beyond what the AI may be programmed to analyze.

Artificial intelligence is not only automation of tasks and processes, it also can be and is a catalyst for innovation in different sectors. The challenge is to reconcile innovation with humanization, both of the technology and of the people who make use of it. In this way this binomial will achieve what for some might seem like magic, today is science applied to the service of human development.

Critical thinking in times of artificial intelligence

/in , , , /by

As artificial intelligence advances, it is logical to wonder in which areas human skills will continue to be indispensable. One of them: critical thinking.

We find ourselves immersed in a constantly evolving era, driven by technological advances and new digital tools that are transforming the way we live, work and learn. However, as we become fascinated with the advantages these innovations offer us, we must also reflect on the challenges they pose.

One obvious issue is to confront how these innovations can undermine our cognitive abilities and lead to a certain intellectual and decision-making passivity. In times of artificial intelligence, there is a need to foster and develop critical thinking as an essential human competence.

In times of artificial intelligence…

We are constantly bombarded. Social networks, apps and personalized algorithms present us with an endless stream of content designed to capture our attention instantly, ephemerally and superficially. Add to this the rapid automation of an increasing number of tasks thanks to generative AI. Generative AI chatbots are excellent at crafting sentences that appear to be written by humans. However, they often present falsehoods as facts or have inconsistent logic.

As a result, our abilities to both concentrate, discern true from false, and think deeply can be threatened. Thus, instead of questioning and analyzing the information generated, we tend to accept it passively, without subjecting it to critical analysis. We have a new viral pandemic: and it is not physical, it is algorithmically driven.

“Critical thinking presupposes having the desire to seek, the patience to doubt, the fondness to meditate, the slowness to affirm, the readiness to consider, the care to put in order, and the hatred for all kinds of imposture.”

Francis Bacon

The best antidote to a future permeated by artificial intelligence is an education that aims to train critical thinking, with which we are capable of:

  • Discern between accurate information and misinformation, mediocre and brilliant arguments, identify biases and manipulations, dismantle prejudices and form opinions based on solid evidence.
  • Develop a deeper and more reflective approach to learning, problem solving and decision making.
  • Foster creativity, logical reasoning and the ability to consider multiple perspectives.

Being a cognitive skill closely related to reason, the purpose of critical thinking is action-oriented and applicable to any aspect of our daily lives, including problem solving or decision making; its scope of influence ranges from personal to work. In short, it allows us to be masters of our thinking and act accordingly.

Rather than replacing us, machines can become catalysts to enhance and nurture our human skills. The more artificial intelligence we have at our disposal, the more creativity and critical thinking we will need.

AI in the classroom? An educational innovation

/in , , /by

“Today the great challenge we have is to know who our students are, who we have in front of us. Today’s education is very oriented to knowledge, but not to personal and professional training, and the same with teachers. That is why we take advantage of artificial intelligence, together with neurolinguistics, to be able to generate precisely these processes of growth and personal knowledge; also to have an impact on the ecosystem.”

Melania Ottaviano

Melania Ottaviano, director of the Diploma in Educational Innovation at Siglo 21 University, member of the TEDxRíodelaPlata team and Advisor of HumanAI Tech has participated in the Buenos Aires Book Fair. Patricio Zunini from the Ticmas team raises questions about artificial intelligence, its challenges in education and its impact on human innovation.

“With the chatGPT we started to think about the benefits, the opportunities… without forgetting the challenges and threats. What we do and what we see is how artificial intelligence can benefit, in this case, the development of socioemotional skills,” says Melania.

At the Integrated Center of FP del Mar it is clear to them that the development of socioemotional competencies is fundamental. Roberto Suárez Malagón, Head of the Accreditation Unit of this institution, tells us about his experience working with our Human AI assistant.

“The use of the Human AI tool allows us to have a diagnosis for each student and for them to know what these socioemotional competencies are, to think, to reflect and to work in the center and also in the field of employability, to see how we can reach a better integration.”

“That individual report is a basis to work on: from it, getting to know the student better, we follow up to find out how they have developed those competencies and how they have adapted.”

“No student in any course, job or vocational training activity should finish his or her studies without being able to analyze his or her socioemotional competencies, aptitudes, in short, character formation.”

Thank you, Roberto, for sharing your experience with Human AI!
