THE VISION FOR AI IN POLAND AND AROUND THE WORLD

Let us kick off by confronting ideas for making the most of AI for economic, social and scientific development, while not steering away from difficult ethical questions and other concerns surrounding the technological revolution we are witnessing. Where exactly do we rank in the global race towards AI and what determines our position in this competition? Is the pace set for the race justified? How do we strike the balance between reaping the benefits of AI development and addressing the risks it poses? Join us during this No holds barred conversation on the vision for AI.

#AITALKS:
FUTURE OF AI - BUSINESS’ PERSPECTIVE

There is no business like AI-driven business? This seems to be the case today, as AI solutions are considered to be the way to gain an edge over your competition, regardless of the industry you are in. This also means that business is booming for AI developers and providers. What is the current course of AI development and adoption?

Let’s hear it from the people at the very heart of AI-driven business transformation as they share their perspective on how AI is changing the way business is done around the world and confront difficult questions about just how much thought is given to social and ethical concerns of competition-driven AI development in an unforgiving business environment.

#AITALKS:
Redefining Art in the Digital Age
The public debate on AI’s impact on the culture and the way art is made and used in the digital era is burning hot. Are our copyright frameworks and definitions related to creative processes keeping up with technological advancements? What is the difference between a prompter and an artist? Are we looking at a democratisation of creative expression or at a bastardization of a sacred process. Let’s bring culture, law and technology together to try and draw some lines.

#AITALKS:
Science in the age of AI

AI is not only changing the way business is done, but also the way we expand our knowledge and understanding of the world. Is it a change for the better? Are we actually on our way to a singularity that will put all scientific progress done by people to shame? Is AI messing with the way we do research and publish the findings? Which fields of science benefit the most from AI and which suffer from its uncontrolled spread? Has the AI revolution given birth to entirely new areas of research? Let’s put our thinking hats on for this session.

#AIINACTION. Keynote speech
Money and data make the world go round. The rise of the fintech sector is a testament to technology taking every corner of the economy and society by the storm and that technology and finance are now intertwined. While Poland is home to impressive fintech developments and the public is keen on using the new, digital tools available, concerns regarding data privacy and security are not uncommon. Let’s take a closer look at the success stories of the fintech sector in Poland and globally, better understand the potential of the fintech sector to redefine how we spend, save and invest our resources and finally, wrestle with issues of reaching  underserved populations and ensuring ethical safeguards.

#AITALKS:
AI in Healthcare: A New Era for Medicine or a Risk to Patient Trust?
Running an algorithm, a day keeps the doctor away? AI could and is already changing the way we run diagnostics, approach medical imaging, design drugs and manage healthcare facilities and entire national systems. How worried or confident should we all be about sharing our health data? How do medical professionals feel about teaming up with AI to provide care to their patients? Could technology be the answer, should another pandemic strike? What are the threats of auto- diagnosing using AI tools?
