Woxsen University Partners with IBM for Industry Calibrated Academic Programs
HYDERABAD, India, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Woxsen University has entered into a strategic MoU with IBM India Private Limited, an academic-industry collaboration poised to reshape the way business and technology education converge.
The five-year alliance spans the School of Business and School of Technology, with direct impact on the MBA (Business Analytics) and BBA (Data Science & Artificial Intelligence) programs. It introduces a unified learning framework where students across disciplines engage with enterprise-level tools and frameworks aligned with global business standards.
'Our partnership with IBM is not an add-on. It is a structural shift in how we envision higher education. By embedding enterprise-grade tools and certifications into the DNA of our curriculum, we are placing Woxsen students on the same technological footing as professionals in Fortune 500 companies. This alliance breaks down the traditional silos between business and technology education, enabling a business analyst to speak the language of AI and a data scientist to understand market strategy. This collaboration ensures our graduates are ready from day one and are equipped to lead with technological fluency, strategic sharpness and global agility.' — Dr. Raul Villamarin Rodriguez, Vice President, Woxsen University.
Through this collaboration, students gain structured access to IBM's suite of technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and advanced analytics platforms. Each participant receives globally acknowledged IBM certifications, embedded directly into academic delivery.
IBM's subject matter experts will engage closely with Woxsen's faculty to co-deliver training grounded in current industry practices and use cases. The pedagogical approach emphasizes applied learning, ensuring students build competencies that hold relevance from the outset of their careers.
The partnership further facilitates an integrated innovation environment. Students from business analytics, data science, and artificial intelligence work in interdisciplinary cohorts, reflecting the collaborative dynamics of modern enterprises. This environment enables learners to build strategic insight alongside technical acumen, equipping them to contribute meaningfully to technology led initiatives.
With curriculum co-developed alongside IBM and aligned with industry frameworks, graduates transition into the workforce with minimal adjustment. The alliance also strengthens career trajectories through IBM's extensive professional network, creating pathways for internships and early placements.
This initiative reflects the alignment of Woxsen's international recognition with rankings from QS, Bloomberg, and IIRF and IBM's longstanding presence at the intersection of business and technology. The partnership brings together two institutions committed to cultivating leaders who understand both commercial imperatives and technological evolution.
The MoU introduces a dynamic structure for continuous academic enrichment, responsive to technological change and market demand. In an increasingly complex global business environment, this collaboration signals Woxsen's intent to prepare its students not only to participate in the digital economy, but to shape it.

Pope Leo warns politicians of the challenges posed by AI
VATICAN CITY, June 21 — Pope Leo warned politicians today of the challenges posed by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), addressing its potential impact on younger people as a prime concern. Speaking at an event attended by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and parliamentary delegations from 68 countries, Leo revisited a topic that he has raised on a number of occasions during the first few weeks of his papacy. 'In particular, it must not be forgotten that artificial intelligence functions as a tool for the good of human beings, not to diminish them or even to replace them,' Leo said at an event held as part of the Roman Catholic Jubilee or Holy Year. AI proponents say it will speed up scientific and technological progress and help people to carry out routine tasks, granting them more time to pursue higher-value and creative work. The US-born pontiff said attention was needed to protect 'healthy, fair and sound lifestyles, especially for the good of younger generations.' He noted that AI's 'static memory' was in no way comparable to the 'creative, dynamic' power of human memory. 'Our personal life has greater value than any algorithm, and social relationships require spaces for development that far transcend the limited patterns that any soulless machine can pre-package,' he said. Leo, who became pope in May, has spoken previously of the threat posed by AI to jobs and has called on journalists to use it responsibly. — Reuters

HAWANA 2025 Strengthens Nation's Journalism Legacy
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 (Bernama) -- The National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) 2025, held successfully today, demonstrates the media's continued commitment to elevating the journalism profession to greater heights. Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin said the successful organisation of the fifth edition of HAWANA was the result of seven months of meticulous planning by Bernama staff, with the support of various parties. 'Alhamdulillah, I am grateful that our efforts over the past seven months to ensure the smooth execution of this event have paid off. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all Bernama staff and strategic partners for their cooperation and support, particularly in terms of sponsorship. 'The full attendance at Dewan Merdeka today reflects the success of the HAWANA programme and the strong support it has received from members of the media,' she said when met after the HAWANA 2025 highlight celebration at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) here today. Carrying the theme 'Journalism in the New Era: Embracing AI, Safeguarding Ethics', HAWANA 2025 is organised by the Ministry of Communications through Bernama as the implementing agency. About 1,000 media practitioners from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait and China have converged in the federal capital since Friday for the HAWANA 2025 celebration. Commenting on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's speech when officiating the event, Nur-ul Afida said the emphasis on the understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and journalism ethics was timely. 'As I often stress, we cannot afford to set aside technology, as it is intended to assist us in the field of journalism. Be it journalists, editors or graphic designers, all can benefit from AI according to their respective needs. 'But at the same time, we as humans cannot rely entirely on AI. Use it as a tool to achieve your goals, not as a shortcut,' she said.
