Dialogue
Open live seminars of the UNESCO Chair on the Ethical Governance of Artificial Intelligence. Recordings are available on the IPPT PAN YouTube channel.
Chess Grandmaster Bartłomiej Macieja
Chess is widely viewed as the king of board games because it balances “easy to learn, hard to master” gameplay with purely skill-based strategy. The development of traditional and machine-learning chess engines has enabled unprecedented progress worldwide, shrinking chess-literacy and digital-literacy gaps. It has also brought ethical challenges that need to be addressed.
Prof. Maciej Ogrodniczuk · Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences (IPI PAN)
The development and pilot implementation of Polish Large Language Models (PLLuM) is a strategic initiative of the national public administration. Led by a consortium of leading Polish research institutions, the project aims to create a sovereign AI ecosystem tailored to the linguistic and legal requirements of the Polish state. The talk presents methodology, results and evaluation, adaptation of the model for administrative tasks, and the use of language resources accumulated at IPI PAN.
Prof. Włodzisław Duch
Frontier AI models have surpassed humans in several programming and mathematical competitions. In the life sciences, systems such as AlphaFold and related tools have become indispensable. Physics-informed machine learning is applied from quantum systems to weather prediction. AI is used to identify new phenomena, design experiments and make discoveries at the conceptual level. Superhuman performance is achieved by self-improving models. New research platforms are being created in which humans work with teams of specialised AI agents.
