The lecture attracted a lot of interest and was widely commented on by our students and MBA graduates:
"The lecture changed my previous view of AI and machine learning. Instead of 'magic', I gained an understanding of the mechanisms, limitations, and consequences, which gives a completely different perspective on the practical use of AI." – Piotr W., MBA for IT student in the 2025/2026 academic year

"It was one of those lectures that leaves you with specific conclusions.
A question was asked that brings order to the discussion about AI: 'Can machines think?' Instead of a definition – an image." – Jolanta Bareja, student of MBA for IT in the academic year 2025/2026

The lecture on AI itself was very well conducted: no beating around the bush, with good-taste humor and a technical level that did not exclude anyone from the audience. There were specific examples of interactions with AI, historical topics such as "do networks only remember," but we also delved into more technical aspects, such as the topic of error as a function of parameters, and regardless of the topic, the entire auditorium listened to the lecture as if spellbound! On top of that, there was an interesting and engaging discussion with the professor at the end, which lasted over 40 minutes! This is one of those lectures that leaves you wanting more, even though it took place on a Saturday afternoon!" – Daniel Hutyra, MBA, graduate of the MBA for IT program in the 2023/2024 academic year
