From Large Language Models to Agentic AI
A seminar of the Jean Monnet Chair Challenges to Democracy and Representation in the EU (EuDARe), hosted by the course Research Design of the Master’s programme in Global Politics and Euro-Mediterranean Relations. Tuesday 10 November 2026, 16:00–18:00, Aula XXI Marzo, Palazzo Pedagaggi, Catania.
Adrià Urso Coll, CRM Coordination and Outreach Specialist at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), traces the evolution from traditional artificial intelligence to large language models and agentic AI. The seminar compares selected AI systems and examines how prompts, context and source material influence their outputs. Through practical examples, students explore how AI agents can plan tasks, access information and use digital tools under human supervision. The session also addresses the limitations, risks and responsible use of AI in academic and professional environments.
Adrià Urso Coll works at FAO on digital transformation, artificial intelligence, partnerships and institutional processes. His background includes international cooperation, private-sector engagement and economic and commercial affairs.
Marcello Carammia, GLOPEM Director and Jean Monnet Chair, moderates.
The seminar is held in English and is open to all students.
