​The AI Collective Poland: AI-Human Synergy (Wroclove)

​During our May meetup, AI-Human Synergy, we explored what real partnership between humans and technology can look like - and where AI can meaningfully take over repetitive, routine work.

​In June, we are taking the conversation one step further and diving into one of the most important and controversial areas of this transformation: education and lifelong learning in the age of AI.

​We will ask a few uncomfortable questions:

​Can advanced language models and autonomous AI agents signal the end of the traditional role of the teacher, mentor, or professor?

​Where does AI truly support self-directed learning - and where does it only create an illusion of competence?

​Will AI-driven digital transformation in education actually give us what we need in the long run, or simply faster access to information?

​As always at The AI Collective, we are moving away from hype and simple answers. We are gathering in the academic heart of Wrocław with a curated group of people from business, education, technology, and academia to explore the topic from three angles: psychological, academic, and business-oriented.

​Agenda

​17:10 - Keynote 🇵🇱 | AI Landscape 2026: How Is the Way Organizations Learn Changing?

​Maciej Gawlik
Managing Partner, LEANSPIN

​Maciej will open the evening with a strategic view of today’s AI landscape. He will explore how modern organizations and teams need to redefine their approach to competence development, upskilling, and adaptation in order to stay flexible and competitive during rapid technological change.

​17:30 - Keynote 🇵🇱 | The Human Perspective: The Role of Humans in Learning and the Psychological Limits of AI

​Paweł Gąsowski
CEO & Owner, Moderator Sp. z o.o.
Coach and business skills trainer

​Paweł will bring a psychological and relational perspective to the discussion. He will focus on the dynamics between learner and mentor, the mechanisms behind knowledge acquisition, and the role of emotion, empathy, and responsibility. We will explore why access to information alone is not enough in education - and where AI can support humans without replacing real human connection.

​17:50 - Keynote 🇵🇱 | The Academic Perspective: Academic Rigor and the Future of Higher Education

​dr hab. Krzysztof Piontek, prof. UEW
Professor at Wrocław University of Economics and Business
AI@HUB UEW initiative

​Krzysztof will look at the topic from the perspective of universities and academia. He will assess how higher education must adapt to a reality where access to factual knowledge has been radically democratized by LLMs. The talk will touch on education quality, methodology, critical thinking, AI-related risks, and the opportunities opening up for modern universities.

​18:10 - Keynote 🇵🇱 | Business & EdTech Perspective: From GenAI to AI Agents in Corporate Education

​Kamila Kowalska
Co-Founder & Vice President, Human Partner
EdTech and immersive learning expert

​Kamila will share a practical perspective on using AI in business education, e-learning, and employee development. She will talk about the shift from traditional, linear training programs toward adaptive, data-driven development paths, the real-world implementation of AI Agents supporting learners in real time, and the challenges around privacy, security, and data quality in corporate deployments.

​18:30 - Panel Discussion & Open Q&A 🇵🇱 🗣️

​A dynamic conversation with all speakers and the audience.

​We will discuss, among others:

• ​whether AI can truly replace a teacher, mentor, or trainer,

• ​where effective self-directed learning ends and the need for human connection begins,

• ​how the role of universities, training companies, and leaders is changing,

• ​whether AI democratizes education or deepens the gap between those who know how to learn with AI and those who only “use tools”,

• ​what AI-powered education needs most: better technology, trust, methodology, or new social competencies.

​19:10 - Networking & Informal Conversations 🤝
Open space to connect, exchange experiences, and meet people from Wrocław’s AI, education, and business ecosystem.

​20:00 - Official Meetup Wrap-Up
