BHFF Junior Fellow Scholar Muhamed Matar Presents Research on AI Adoption at Kiss the Future AI Summit
BHFF Junior Fellow Scholar Muhamed Matar presented his research at the Kiss the Future AI Summit 2026, held in Sarajevo on October 16, 2026. His research poster, titled “Predicting Academic AI Adoption Among University Students in Bosnia and Herzegovina,” explored the growing role of artificial intelligence in higher education and the factors influencing its adoption among university students.
The summit, organized by Blum Institute and Bloomteq, brought together researchers, technology professionals, and AI enthusiasts to exchange knowledge, explore emerging technologies, and discuss the future of artificial intelligence.
Understanding AI Adoption in Higher Education
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into academic environments, understanding how students engage with these technologies is becoming an important area of research.
Muhamed's study focuses on how university students in Bosnia and Herzegovina use AI tools in academic settings, applying machine learning techniques to identify factors associated with AI adoption.
By examining the relationship between student behavior and the adoption of AI technologies, the research contributes to a broader discussion about the evolving role of artificial intelligence in education.
Understanding these patterns can help inform future research into how AI tools are incorporated into university learning environments and how students adapt to technological change.
Sharing Research and Exchanging Ideas
Presenting his findings at the Kiss the Future AI Summit provided Muhamed with an opportunity to engage with researchers and professionals interested in the development and application of artificial intelligence.
Beyond presenting his work, the summit offered a space to exchange perspectives, explore new ideas, and connect with individuals working on challenges related to AI and its growing influence across different sectors.
For young researchers, opportunities like these are valuable for gaining experience in scientific communication, receiving new perspectives on their work, and becoming part of broader research communities.
Supporting the Next Generation of Researchers
Muhamed's participation reflects the commitment of BHFF Junior Fellow Scholars to exploring emerging technologies and contributing to research that addresses relevant challenges in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
By investigating AI adoption among university students, his work connects technological innovation with questions about education and the future of learning.
At the Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation, we are proud to see our Scholars actively participating in research events, sharing their findings, and contributing to conversations that shape the future of science and technology.
Through research, curiosity, and collaboration, young people like Muhamed are helping build a deeper understanding of how artificial intelligence is transforming the world around us.
