14:45 - 15:25 AI Strategy for Slovakia

How should Slovakia use the potential of artificial intelligence for its development? The discussion will focus on the vision of the state, the needs of education, the role of industry, and concrete steps for successful and responsible implementation of AI. We will raise issues of the digital divide, ethics, infrastructure, and data management. A key topic will also be the plan to integrate AI into education, bringing new curricula, AI tools into schools, and support for teachers starting in 2025. The aim is to prepare pupils for the digital future and ensure that AI does not create new inequalities. The discussion will offer a cross-section of the attitudes of the state, the private sector, and the Department of Education on using AI to benefit people, the economy, and public administration. Slovakia can become an active player if it acts in a coordinated, responsible, and value-driven way.
