The day-long conference dedicated to AI and robotics has taken its final shape thanks to the cooperation with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for the Recovery and Resilience Plan and the use of EU funds by Peter Kmec. It is he who, together with Maria Bielik from KINIT, will be the guest of the opening 1on2 interview on the topic Where is Artificial Intelligence Going?. The moderator Ľubomír Straka, will take the baton for this and several other presentations. In the next 1on1 interview, Peter Pellegrini, President of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, will talk with Martin Spano, an expert on artificial intelligence, about what opportunities and threats modern technologies can bring to Slovakia and what we as a country should do to make the best use of the AI wave.

Inspirations not only for Slovakia will be brought by the performances of invited foreign guests. The keynote speaker of the conference will be Walter Pasquarelli, a world-renowned consultant, speaker and expert on AI strategies. In his presentation Business in the Age of Generative AI, he will reveal new insights into the question of whether artificial intelligence is a threat or an opportunity. Walter Pasquarelli has worked for brands such as Google, Meta and Microsoft, has been quoted by media such as The Economist, Forbes, Der Tagesspiel and others, has advised institutions such as the European Parliament and NATO, and was the first recipient of the Prospect Public Policy Award from the University of Cambridge and an AI Policy Fellow from the University of Bath. An equally attractive guest will be Franz Bailom, founder and CEO of two thriving global businesses - in-manas (Intelligent Management Solutions) and IMP (Innovative Management Partner). The respected expert in strategic planning and innovation will speak in the Artificial Intelligence Tools session. Also worthy of respect and attention is Joong-Hae Suh from the Korea Development Institute, who will bring to Slovakia experience from South Korea - the most modern industry in the world and the process of its digitalization. Xiaolu Hou, who is currently working at STU in Bratislava round off the 4 foreign guests.
