Is science keeping pace with AI, and how does artificial intelligence affect the work of researchers? This was the focus of the latest episode on the Lodz University of Technology YouTube channel.
The guest of the latest episode published on the Lodz University of Technology YouTube channel was Prof. Liszkiewicz from the Institute of Turbomachinery, who, in a conversation with Dr Eng. Magdalena Wróbel‑Lachowska, shared his perspective on the dynamic changes taking place in the world of engineering and science under the influence of artificial intelligence.
The episode explored the pace of technological development and whether universities are able to keep up with it. The discussion addressed whether AI democratizes access to information or instead reduces it to quick, superficial consumption. The conversation also covered practical applications of AI in mechanical engineering: digital twins, predictive maintenance, generative design, and the growing role of AI assistants and agents in the daily work of engineers.
The interview also included reflections on the future of science and education: which competencies will be crucial for researchers, whether a scientist without AI will become less competitive, and what role universities will play in a world where answers are available at one’s fingertips.
We warmly encourage you to watch the full conversation. The link to the episode is provided below.
