Last week, the First Interdisciplinary Seminar “Connections between Technology, Society, and Management in the Digital Age” was held, bringing together students and academics from Carver University to share reflections, experiences, and visions on the challenges of the new digital landscape.

The event was opened by the president of Carver University, Dr. Juan Pablo Laporte, who highlighted that change has been a constant in human history and emphasized the importance of adaptation.

“This seminar seeks precisely to open a space for collective reflection on how, from academia, we can understand and contribute to the way in which technological advances shape a society in constant motion,” he said.

The first panel discussion, moderated by Dr. Marisela Zabala, director of the Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, addressed the social transformations driven engineering and technology. During the discussion, MBA student Elmer Zambrano presented his research on artificial intelligence applied to law, analyzing how new technologies are transforming legal practice and how lawyers can incorporate AI tools into their daily work.

“Participating in Carver University's First Interdisciplinary Seminar was an enriching experience, thanks to the academic support of my tutor, Jorge Muñoz. It allowed me to share insights and learnings about the evolution of law in the digital age, fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue that is essential for the future of our profession,” said Zambrano.

Subsequently, Master of Arts in Psychology student Saintavoi Cristoph spoke about the synergy between engineering, technology, and innovation for sustainable development, highlighting how each technological leap drives new forms of engineering and poses challenges that transcend the technical.

The seminar concluded with the second roundtable discussion, focused on Social Sciences and Humanities, moderated by Dr. Roxana Asca, professor of undergraduate and graduate programs in Psychology. In this space, Bryan Castillo, a student of the Master of Arts in Public Administration, presented a paper on the challenges of Public Administration in strengthening citizen confidence in the Dominican political system.

“This seminar was an extremely enriching experience, allowing me to exchange academic perspectives with colleagues from different disciplines and reaffirm the importance of promoting trust as an essential pillar of democratic governance and effective public management,” said Castillo.
