It has been over 3 years since AI blew up in popularity. During my time as a Solutions Architect and later as Head of an AI department, I have seen hundreds of projects - both successes and failures. In this talk, I will share a few near-failed Amazon Bedrock projects and the lessons we learned the hard way. After this talk, you will be able to avoid making the same mistakes and deliver real value from day one!

🎤 Tomasz Dudek - Head of Data & AI, Chaos Gears

Kuehne + Nagel and AWS have evolved beyond Al-assisted development to embrace Al Native practices, integrating Al as a partner throughout the software development lifecycle. Learn how their teams leverage AWS foundational tools including Amazon Q Developer, Kiro, and Amazon Bedrock. Discover effective Prompt Driven Development methodologies and grassroots adoption strategies from early champions. See how Amazon enables teams to provide Al with right context through strategic use of MCP, RAG and custom models trained on Amazon technical knowledge. Understand the culture transformation required across multi-thousand person organizations, where every role must evolve.

🎤 Igor Kovach - Head of Cloud Competence Centre at Kuehne+Nagel

I specialize in cloud strategy, AI integration, and making complex IT simple. Based in Wrocław, I love turning big ideas into scalable solutions—whether in the cloud, on a bike trail, or over coffee.

Education Without Teachers? The Future of EdTech and the Limits of Self-Directed Learning with AI: A look at the AI revolution in education - lessons from business, technology, and human experience.

📅 Wednesday, June 24, 2026
🕔 17:00 - 20:00 CEST
📍 Wrocław
📝 **Registration required **
Limited capacity - applications will be reviewed and accepted based on the registration form.

🇵🇱 This event will be held fully in Polish.

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.

16:30 - Registration, Welcome Coffee & Networking ☕
Arrival, check-in, and informal conversations.

17:00 - Welcome & Introduction: AI Landscape 2026 (Polish 🇵🇱)
**Maciej Gawlik, **Managing Partner at LEANSPIN

Opening of the meeting and a strategic summary of the current artificial intelligence landscape. He will talk about how modern organizations and teams need to redefine their upskilling methodologies in order to maintain flexibility and a clear market advantage in an era of dynamic technological change.

17:20 - The Human Perspective: Humans in the Learning Process and the Psychological Limits of AI (Polish 🇵🇱)
**Paweł Gąsowski, **CEO and owner of Moderator Sp. z o.o., coach and business skills trainer
He will shift the focus to the key dynamics of the student-mentor relationship. He will explain the psychological mechanisms of knowledge acquisition, the irreplaceable role of empathy, and why authentic emotional connection and moral responsibility are boundaries that AI will never be able to replicate.

17:40 - The Academic Perspective: Academic Rigor and the Future of Higher Education (Polish 🇵🇱)
dr hab. Krzysztof Piontek, prof. UEW
Professor at Wrocław University of Economics and Business, AI@HUB UEW initiative
He will assess how universities and academic structures must adapt to a reality in which factual knowledge has been completely democratized by LLM models. He will address structural opportunities, as well as methodological risks related to implementing AI in higher education.

18:00 - Business & EdTech Perspective: From GenAI to AI Agents in Corporate Education (Polish 🇵🇱)
**Kamila Kowalska, **Co-Founder & Vice President at Human Partner, EdTech and immersive learning expert
She will present the practical side of using artificial intelligence in business education and e-learning. She will talk about the transition from classic, linear training programs to adaptive, data-driven development paths, the real implementation of AI Agents supporting participants in real time, and the challenges related to privacy, security, and data quality during corporate implementations.

18:20 - Panel Discussion & Open Q&A 🗣️ (Polish 🇵🇱)
A dynamic debate with all speakers and the audience. We will confront academic theory with business pragmatism in EdTech and the natural psychological barriers of employees. Bring your toughest questions!

19:00 - Networking & Informal Conversations 🤝
Open space to connect, exchange experiences, and meet people from Wrocław’s AI, education, and business ecosystem.
