Artificial intelligence doesn’t have to be a threat, but a partner for enhancing our abilities. The talk showed how it can help us create faster, learn better, and hone our creativity. The goal is clear: to become more efficient and better versions of ourselves.
AI as a partner for growth, not a replacement
The speaker urged the audience to turn away from geopolitics for a moment and look „inward“: at how AI can advance each of us. She emphasized that the job market is changing; some roles will disappear, but new and valuable ones will emerge. In this picture, AI does not play the role of replacing people, but of expanding what’s possible.
The key is creativity, which, according to the World Economic Forum, ranks among the most important skills for a rapidly changing world. AI-powered tools should therefore not be seen merely as routine-shorteners, but as springboards to new ideas. In other words, AI can be an engine for learning, work, and personal development.
Intern and collaborator: from small tasks to complex assignments
AI can be imagined as an „intern“ who takes on simple, repeatable tasks. In practice, this can mean quickly summarizing a text or preparing a draft of a website including code, so that a person can focus on harder decisions. Such use saves time and opens space for more creative work.
When tasks become more complex, AI can take on the role of a collaborator. Chatbots can analyze survey data – both quantitative and qualitative – and add tailored recommendations. NotebookLM from Google allows you to upload dozens of sources, create clear summaries from them, and even generate a podcast that reads the content in the form of a dialogue between two voices.
Coach and teacher: feedback, language, and interactive learning
AI can also act as a personal coach or language teacher. It can correct pronunciation, suggest rephrasings, and offer tips, occasionally with an amusing slip – such as confusing „Ružomberok“ with „Rožumberok“. What matters is that it provides instant feedback and motivates regular practice.
In education, free tools that simplify the creation of videos, visual aids, and interactive explanations are gaining ground. The speaker showed a sample video created using only the free versions of several AI tools and invited participants to try similar approaches. The closing message was unambiguous: AI should support us in creativity, analytical thinking, and collaboration, not replace us.
