Where is artificial intelligence going?
9:00 - 9:30 Where is artificial intelligence going?
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are among the fastest growing industries. And not just in terms of economics and business, but also in terms of development itself. Already today, AI analyzes and detects things much faster and, most importantly, more accurately than humans. But will it just be an advisory tool for humans, or will we get used to it and gradually entrust it with most even important things? Will we then still be able to control and manage it? How and in what ways will it move humanity forward?

AI in education
16:10 - 16:50 AI in education
Artificial Intelligence as a global megatrend is multidisciplinary and will significantly influence the focus of all fields of study. All types of schools at both secondary and university level will have to adapt to this change. At the same time, freely available generative AI tools allow educators to develop attractive and creative teaching content, and these tools can also be used in the assessment process or in tracking student performance. These tools are also used by students and there are no horizontal rules on how they can use these tools. How will the transformation of the teaching process using AI take place? Do we need to set clear rules for the use of AI tools? How to educate fresh graduates who will have the necessary skills and employability in the job market?

Artificial intelligence is also beginning to establish its position in the world of creative industries. It not only edits, but also designs and creates photographs and even films. Film scripts are no exception, where its imagination knows no bounds and goes beyond the limits of the human one. So will she just be an inspiration to creatives?

How will artificial intelligence change the way our society functions? Will AI cause a change greater than the Industrial Revolution? How will it change our relationships, our work productivity or our mental health in a rapidly changing technological world? Will AI change the world of politics, create more jobs or, conversely, will some industries begin to disappear?
