On 11 November 2026, the Centre for Intelligent Cloud Computing (CICC), CoE for Advanced Cloud, in collaboration with the Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FIST), Multimedia University (MMU) Melaka, organised an Academic Knowledge Sharing Session featuring Dr. Helen K. Joy and Dr. R. Sridevi from Christ University, India.
The session brought together academics and researchers to explore the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a focus on agentic AI and its potential in teaching, research and cybersecurity. It also provided an opportunity for knowledge exchange between MMU and Christ University, supporting ongoing academic engagement between the two institutions.
Dr. Helen introduced participants to the development of AI, from classical AI and machine learning to generative AI and agentic AI. Through demonstrations and hands-on activities, participants explored how AI agents work, how large language models process information and how specialised AI tools can automate tasks across different areas.
She also shared practical applications of agentic AI, including personalised AI assistants, automated workflows, literature review support and research summarisation. Participants were introduced to several no-code platforms that allow users to develop AI-driven solutions for academic and professional use.
Meanwhile, Dr. Sridevi highlighted the use of AI in higher education, demonstrating platforms that support lesson planning, assessment design, rubric generation, content creation and personalised learning. She also emphasised the importance of responsible AI adoption, particularly in maintaining academic integrity and ensuring human oversight in teaching and research.
The session concluded with a discussion and question-and-answer session, allowing participants to exchange views on the opportunities and challenges of adopting AI in education, research and cybersecurity. The knowledge-sharing session provided MMU’s academic community with insights into emerging AI applications while offering a platform for continued academic exchange between MMU and Christ University.
