"When it reaches an IQ of 100 or 150, there will be no problem. But when a 1000 or 10,000, what then? This could be humanity's greatest achievement. But at the same time its end," this is what Stephen Hawking said about artificial intelligence. It is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing branches of computer science, and at the same time a very interesting topic of scientific research. Prof. Anna Fabijanska (Hirsh Index 14, about 900 citations, professorship at 39) uses artificial intelligence to analyse digital images, among other things.

Chemical engineering is another discipline on offer at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School. Welcome to a new episode in the series "Steer your future with IDS".

The passing year 2022 brought many unique events and spectacular successes to Lodz University of Technology. In July, the university was the main host of a major sporting event, the European Universities Games, which attracted several thousand students from over 400 universities from 37 countries.

Prof. Małgorzata Szynkowska-Jóźwik, dean of the Faculty of Chemistry at TUL, will serve as vice-president of the Association of Chemistry and the Environment (ACE).

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is one of the biggest challenges facing civilisation. Dawid Zawadzki, M.Sc., who is designing a compact CO2 absorption device, wants to make his contribution to solving this problem. In the future, it could be used on oil platforms or ships.

Dear Students, Doctoral Candidates, Employees,

and Friends of Lodz University of Technology,

Ladies and Gentlemen.

On this occasion, I wish you health, peace and inner joy. May these holidays fill us with joy, optimism and abundant encounters with loved ones.

On the University of Twente campus (Netherlands), the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU) celebrated its 25th anniversary.

The first pilot Workshop for Active Use of Technology (PAKT) in Poland was opened at Lodz University of Technology on Wednesday (14 December). It will be a place to host educational workshops for children, young people and adults, based on problem-based, project-based work and the three leading STEAM pathways: robotics, programming and multimedia.

Michał Krupa, PhD, is a graduate in Electronics and Telecommunications at Lodz University of Technology. He has been working at CERN for 12 years, but has not lost touch with his university. In November, he defended his doctoral thesis at the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering.

"Życie Uczelni" talks to Dr Krupa about his studies, the opportunities and possibilities offered by the university, the Technical Student programme at CERN and working at one of the best scientific centres.

A computer game during functional magnetic resonance imaging, developed at the Institute of Information Technology at the Faculty of Technical Physics, Information Technology and Applied Mathematics at TUL, won in the "Transformation Partner/Solution Provider" category. This was the 25th edition of the competition organised by the K.I.D.S. Foundation - 'Children's Hospital of the Future'.
