honored guests dear organizers professors and students alike I'm very
Átirat · 1:11
happy to be here and I would like to start with a statement No, I did not ask Chad GPT.
Átirat · 1:18
Um, should should have I done that? Of course, I could have done that. And I
Átirat · 1:24
think that it's a good thing to ask whether is there anything to learn when
Átirat · 1:30
I ask the chat GPT about how to address you and how to address the issue of having an AI conference here. Of course,
Átirat · 1:38
there's quite a number of things that I could have learned. For example, I could have learned what's the general perception about opening such a
Átirat · 1:45
conference is. Would that help me in any ways? Of course, it would have defined
Átirat · 1:50
how I would not speak to you and actually it would have helped me to
Átirat · 1:56
create a contrast. I think that in most cases when we are thinking about AI, of
Átirat · 2:02
course, and if we ask probably people on the street, they would say that this is
Átirat · 2:08
a brand new thing. this is a novelty and of course it is a brand new thing and it is a novelty but I don't think it is in
Átirat · 2:16
the way that general perception uh conceives it. For example, I am a
Átirat · 2:21
biologist and uh if I consider um different issues related to AI, I can
Átirat · 2:29
tell you that they were already with us. Machine learning was already used in pattern recognition and would already
Átirat · 2:36
helping us not just in the medical field but also in my very narrow field of mmacology recognizing movements
Átirat · 2:43
recognizing tissues and so on and it was there like not just one or two years
Átirat · 2:48
before but quite a while ago in my childhood I one of my favorite books was
Átirat · 2:54
Suma Technologi I don't know whether you've read it Stanislav Lamb's book I would recommend you to read it but you
Átirat · 3:01
would find it maybe a little bit, you know, like well, not so interesting. Stanislab when he wrote this book, he
Átirat · 3:08
was writing about drones. He was writing about bionic um arms and so on. And
Átirat · 3:14
these are all with us. So, of course, I'm not telling that what we are experiencing today is something that was
Átirat · 3:20
written quite a while ago, but surely we can talk about AI and we can talk about
Átirat · 3:26
progress in a way that we already have some knowledge. We already have some base about how new technologies actually
Átirat · 3:33
alter or change our word. And I would like to think about AI and I think that
Átirat · 3:38
also my university also thinks about like that as a as a new methodology as a
Átirat · 3:44
new family of tools that can help us you know climb maybe even higher peaks or
Átirat · 3:50
even maybe build higher peaks. our university um which is a very
Átirat · 3:56
complex university and an old one and usually old universities are considered you know those universities are really
Átirat · 4:04
they are stubbornly you know like anchored in the past they do not really want to change however our university is
Átirat · 4:11
really something that would like to change would like to change many things I'm not sure whether we succeed but at
Átirat · 4:17
least there are there is this desire to change and with that regards I think
Átirat · 4:22
that in the past four or five or even six or eight years, there have been quite a number of changes also with
Átirat · 4:29
regards to how we address uh the issue of teaching new new topics and I would
Átirat · 4:36
like just to mention that for example the AI specialty the AI program has been introduced in our offer in in our
Átirat · 4:43
academic offer at the faculty of informatics mathematics and informatics quite a while ago and also cyber
Átirat · 4:48
security. So I would like to think that for our university having such a
Átirat · 4:54
conference is both uh a joy with regards
Átirat · 4:59
to presenting the novelties of the present but it is both something that is
Átirat · 5:06
deeply rooted in the nature of how university should approach novelties uh
Átirat · 5:13
when it is about societal challenges. AI is a societal challenge. as is an
Átirat · 5:18
educational challenge. Just a few days ago when we were sending out some drafts
Átirat · 5:24
of regulations with regards to how to regulate exams, some of our colleagues
Átirat · 5:30
gave us feedback on how to address the AI issue, whether we should embrace it and how we should embrace it, whether we
Átirat · 5:37
should reject it or how we should reject it, whether we can or we could or we should regulate it and whether it can be
Átirat · 5:45
regulated. I know that this conference is not about that and I would not expect you to come back to us with some
Átirat · 5:52
feedbacks with regards to that. But this conference um which I'm really happy to
Átirat · 5:57
to to host here um as member of the leadership of uh Babuya University is
Átirat · 6:04
about something that is changing our society and universities should be part
Átirat · 6:10
of societal changes. They should not follow societal changes. they should be
Átirat · 6:15
frontr runners when it comes to societal changes. So I wish you as member of the
Átirat · 6:20
leadership of the Babes University very good discussions uh why not sometimes even academic
Átirat · 6:27
quarrels you know when you dispute some some things and maybe also solutions
Átirat · 6:32
although I'm not really expecting that solutions are just jumping out of the box after a conference but for sure um
Átirat · 6:41
baselines for solutions and good basis for further um research networking
Átirat · 6:48
This is an opportunity that surely it is there on the menu for you and for this conference and for our university. So I
Átirat · 6:56
wish you an excellent conference. Thank you.
