On Friday, March 27, the conference “AI and New Technologies for Business” took place, organized by American Corner Radom and the U.S. Embassy Warsaw at the headquarters of the Non-Governmental Organizations Center in Radom. The event brought together experts, business representatives, and administration officials, focusing on the role of artificial intelligence in the economy and the future of the labor market.
Will humans remain at the center of business?
The central point of the day was the panel discussion “Is the future of business still human?”. The debate featured:
– Prof. Dr. Hab. Andrzej Dragan – quantum physicist from the University of Warsaw, academic lecturer, and visual artist,
– Dr. Marek Mieńkowski – philosopher, entrepreneur, and cybersecurity expert from the Educational Research Institute,
– Dr. Anna Pająk – expert from the Ministry of Development and Technology, specializing in strategies for implementing digital technologies and international cooperation.
The panel was moderated by Andrzej Rossa from the U.S. Embassy Warsaw.
The experts unanimously emphasized that AI development is no longer a futuristic vision but a real factor shaping business models. They pointed out that artificial intelligence is increasingly taking over analytical and decision-making tasks and may eventually manage entire organizational processes. At the same time, they stressed that the greatest value currently comes from the human-technology cooperation model – combining human competencies with the computing power of algorithms yields the best results.
Business, investments, and the regional perspective
During the debate, attention was drawn to the growing scale of global investments in artificial intelligence. Capital is driving the development of practical applications – from process automation to the creation of new digital services – making this technology one of the key drivers of growth. This represents an opportunity for companies and regions that want to build their competitiveness based on innovation. For cities such as Radom, it means a chance to attract innovative projects, develop digital competencies, and build an ecosystem conducive to new technologies.
The panelists also addressed ethical issues and risks associated with AI, including the phenomenon of excessive trust in algorithmic systems. They emphasized the importance of appropriate regulations – particularly in Europe – which are intended to ensure user safety without hindering technological development.
AI and the labor market
The discussion also covered the impact of AI on employment. Although some professions will undergo transformation or automation, experts indicate that technology simultaneously creates new roles and competencies. Adapting the education system and developing digital skills is becoming crucial. It was emphasized that AI development is a process that will gradually redefine the labor market, management models, and investment strategies.
Artificial intelligence in business – conclusions and prospects
In summary, artificial intelligence is ceasing to be the future and is becoming the present of business. As the experts showed during the conference in Radom, the key will not be replacing humans but effective cooperation with technology. It is precisely the skillful combination of human competencies and AI capabilities that will determine the competitiveness of companies and regions in the coming years.
The event was held under the patronage of the Ministry of Development and Technology and was organized in cooperation with numerous partners: the Non-Governmental Organizations Center in Radom, the City of Radom, ŁAŹNIA Radom Creative Environments Club and Gallery, the American Chamber of Commerce in Poland, Business Centre Club Radom, Noble Brand, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of the Radom Land, and Radom University.
