Discover How AI Is Shaping the Most Regulated Industries

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to real-world application. In sectors like healthcare and public services, however, adopting AI goes far beyond technology — it raises critical questions around governance, regulation, ethics, and data sharing.

This shift is at the heart of the upcoming event “Inside the AI Hub at Campus Biotech: Exploring AI in Highly Regulated Environments” on April 14, 2026 (Tuesday, 18:00). Hosted within Geneva’s AI Hub, the session offers a unique opportunity to explore how AI is being developed where safety, transparency, and accountability are essential.

A Collaborative AI Ecosystem in Action

The AI Hub (Pôle IA) Geneva — created by Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), the Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering, and the Canton of Geneva — brings together clinicians, researchers, and AI specialists in a shared environment at Campus Biotech.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Project Management: A Misunderstood Relationship

The aim of this article is to explain how AI is influencing project management. Although I deliver a course related to this subject, I thought preparing an article would be useful as well. 

There are two fundamentally different situations when combining AI with project management. I call them “AI-assisted project management” and “AI-creation projects.” Let’s examine these two cases:

 Case 1: AI-assisted project management

This case is about using AI tools in project management activities. Many AI tools are available to support project teams in their daily work. These tools can be used to assist with tasks such as analyzing project data, preparing reports, summarizing meetings, generating ideas, evaluating alternatives, etc. These tools can improve efficiency, reduce errors, and free up time for more strategic decision-making. Although their use may depend on organizational policies, they are a standard part of project management in many industries. However, this represents only one side of the story.

Memorable moments

To celebrate a quarter-century of project excellence, we’ve been digging through the archives. We found 50 "flashback" photos (2x25!) that capture the incredible journey, the faces, and the milestones of our chapter’s history.

Seeing these brings back so many joyful memories. It’s a reminder that while projects have deadlines, the community we build lasts much longer.

Were you there for any of these moments? Keep an eye out—you might just spot yourself!
