O konferencji GenAI w edukacji wyższejAbout the GenAI Conference in Higher Education
Wraz z gwałtownym rozwojem narzędzi generatywnej AI, które zmieniają sposób, w jaki uczymy się, nauczamy i prowadzimy badania, szkolnictwo wyższe staje w obliczu pilnych pytań o swoją przyszłość. Czy uczelnie powinny jedynie dostosowywać się do zmian napędzanych przez AI – czy raczej przejąć inicjatywę i nadawać im kierunek?
Konferencja GenAI gromadzi ekspertów z całego świata, nauczycieli akademickich i studentów, by wspólnie zastanowić się, co jest dziś stawką. Od kwestii uczciwości akademickiej i autorstwa, przez strategie instytucjonalne, aż po praktyki dydaktyczne – wpływ generatywnej AI jest już widoczny i stale rośnie.
Wydarzenie nawiązuje do wniosków z najnowszego raportu DELab UW „Wytyczne dotyczące wykorzystania GenAI na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim”, który prezentuje dobre praktyki i podkreśla potrzebę jasnych, opartych na wartościach ram działania. Wspólnie zapytamy: Jakiej uczelni chcemy w erze AI? Czego powinniśmy bronić – a co musimy odważnie zmienić?
As generative AI tools rapidly reshape how we teach, learn, and conduct research, higher education faces urgent questions about its future. Should universities adapt to AI-driven change—or take the lead in defining its direction?
The GenAI conference gathers global experts, educators, and students to reflect on what is at stake. From academic integrity and authorship to institutional strategy and teaching practices, the impact of GenAI is already visible - and growing.
The event builds on the findings of DELab UW’s recent report “Guidelines for the use of GenAI at the University of Warsaw”, which highlights good practices and the need for clear, value-driven frameworks. Together, we will ask: What kind of university do we want in the age of AI? What should we protect—and what must we transform?

Serdecznie zapraszamy wszystkich członków społeczności akademickiej Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego do aktywnego udziału w konferencji. Wspólnie zastanówmy się, czym powinna być dziś uniwersytecka edukacja – otwarta na wyzwania technologiczne, odpowiedzialna społecznie i zakorzeniona w wartościach akademickich.
Discussions will take place along two parallel tracks:
University of Warsaw Community Track – this track will begin on May 29 at 2:00 PM with a panel presenting student proposals developed the previous day. The debates in this part of the conference will focus on the future of the university, strategies for the development of higher education, and practical challenges related to implementing AI technologies at the University of Warsaw.
Scientific Track (International) – dedicated to researchers and educators from around the world. Over the course of two days, the latest research findings and projects on the use of generative AI in education and science will be presented. Among the invited speakers is Prof. Peter Kahn from the University of Manchester, along with many other distinguished experts.
We warmly invite all members of the University of Warsaw academic community to actively participate in the conference. Let us reflect together on what university education should be today – open to technological challenges, socially responsible, and rooted in academic values.
Zachęcamy do zapoznania się z raportem zespołu DELab UW na temat generatywnej AI.

GenAI in Higher Education – some things we need to talk about
With the hype around genAI now beginning to settle down, Neil Selwyn points to some longer-term questions that need to be discussed as genAI capabilities are now being baked into various aspects of higher education practice. What forms of genAI are now taking hold in universities, and with what consequences? How do genAI logics and values fit with established educational and scholarly expectations, and how are tensions being resolved? Is there a moral case for universities resisting and rejecting genAI completely … or is it possible to think otherwise about alternate forms of genAI that higher education might want and genuinely benefit from?

Debate: The Fix or the Break: GenAI in Higher Education
Moderated by: Prof. Renata Włoch (University of Warsaw)
Panelists:
Prof. Neil Selwyn (Monash University)
Prof. Peter Kahn (University of Manchester)
Prof. Zygmunt Lalak (Vice-Rector for Research, University of Warsaw)
Description: This high-level debate brings together leading voices to reflect on the promises and risks of generative artificial intelligence in higher education. As universities worldwide begin to explore the use of GenAI tools in teaching, learning and research, the question arises:Will AI fix what is broken in the university – or will it break what still works?
The panel will juxtapose two contrasting yet complementary perspectives. Prof. Neil Selwyn, one of the world’s most recognized critical scholars of educational technology, will challenge assumptions about the optimistic rhetoric surrounding GenAI, emphasizing the social, pedagogical and political consequences of unreflective adoption. On the other hand, Prof. Peter Kahn will offer a vision of constructive integration, where GenAI functions as a learning assistant and mentor, enhancing individual agency, flexibility and pedagogical responsiveness.
Joining the conversation, Vice-Rector Zygmunt Lalak will bring the institutional and leadership perspective of the University of Warsaw, reflecting on the challenges of aligning innovation with academic identity, educational values, and regulatory frameworks.
The debate will address key strategic questions:
What kind of university do we want in the age of GenAI?
How can institutions balance experimentation with responsibility?
What does it take to become a learning organisation in a time of rapid technological change?
What role should academic communities play in defining boundaries, values and purposes for AI in education?
As part of the GenAI in Higher Education conference – the first of its kind in Poland – this panel sets out to create a critical and open space for dialogue, where no single narrative dominates, and where the future of the university is not only imagined, but actively negotiated.

Debata: Jakiej uczelni chcemy w obliczu rozwoju AI?
Uczestnicy:
Prowadzi: Dr hab. Katarzyna Śledziewska, prof. UW (University of Warsaw)
prof. dr hab. Ewa Krogulec (Prorektor ds. rozwoju UW)
prof. Anna Giza-Poleszczuk
Prof. Andrzej Szeptycki (minister MNiSW)
prof. Janusz Uriasz (Przewodniczący Polskiej Komisji Akredytacyjnej)
Cel:
Otwarcie strategicznej debaty o przyszłości uczelni – nie tylko w kontekście technologii, ale przede wszystkim w kontekście misji uczelni, wartości, tożsamości oraz roli społecznej i gospodarczej.
Opis:
W dobie dynamicznego rozwoju sztucznej inteligencji, pytanie „jakiej uczelni chcemy?” staje się jednym z najważniejszych wyzwań dla systemu szkolnictwa wyższego. Czy uczelnie powinny jedynie adaptować się do zmian technologicznych, czy aktywnie je współkształtować? Na czym powinna się opierać ich misja w świecie, w którym wiedza staje się natychmiast dostępna, a kompetencje zmieniają się szybciej niż programy kształcenia?
Debata otworzy refleksję nad tym:
Jak zmieni się misja edukacyjna uczelni w ciągu 10 lat?
Jaką funkcję społeczną i kulturową mają dziś pełnić uczelnie?
Na jakich wartościach powinna być oparta ich tożsamość w erze generatywnej AI?
Czego powinniśmy bronić, a co powinniśmy odważnie zmieniać?
Czy uczelnie powinny pozostać strażnikami akademickiej autonomii, czy stać się liderami cyfrowych przemian?
