We were pleased to close out the fall semester with an insightful guest lecture held today, featuring Mr. Adrian Rodriguez, a distinguished U.S. expert in artificial intelligence and its applications in public procurement.

The session, titled “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Public Procurement to Create a Fair and Transparent Investment Climate,” explored how AI can enhance transparency, efficiency, and fairness in public sector investments.

Through an engaging presentation and interactive Q&A, participants reflected on real-world applications of AI, ethical considerations, and the broader societal impact of technology-driven procurement reforms.

We were honored by the presence of:

Mckenzie Louw, Head of Public Relations

Ina Begotaraj, Youth Advisor

We also welcomed the Rector, Dean and Administration, as well as our students, whose active participation and thoughtful questions enriched the discussion.

Thank you to Mr. Rodriguez and everyone who joined us in making this lecture a meaningful conclusion to the semester.
