Social insects and birds as swarm intelligence models

Urszula Boryczka , Tomasz Płoska

Language: PL | Published: 07-04-2021 | Abstract | pp. 16-19

Formations of wild birds or schools of fish follow a given direction; they fly or swim according to a symmetrical pattern in a harmonious and coordinated manner. When they suddenly change direction, they neither bump into each other not break the formation. This is a real natural phenomenon. And it is precisely such phenomena that researchers not necessarily associated with the natural sciences have begun to look at, and created artificial intelligence algorithms useful in solving specific optimization problems based on mathematical models observed in the natural world. The collective pattern of individual behavior in self-organizing systems, such as bird formations, schools of fish, and a colonies of insects, was used to create an artificial intelligence technique called swarm intelligence.

Artificial intelligence and new technologies – how to use them wisely?

Tomasz Kopczyński , Katarzyna Suchańska

Language: EN | Published: 25-04-2025 | Abstract | pp. 20-21

The article addresses the issue of the dynamic development of artificial intelligence and new technologies and their impact on various social groups, especially children, young people, and the elderly. The presence of digital tools in education and upbringing is now commonplace. This has both advantages, such as personalised learning and immersive VR experiences, and risks, such as detachment from reality and weakened interpersonal relationships. The article emphasises the importance of wise and conscious use of technology and the role of parents and educators in shaping the digital habits of children.

Can a computer be an artist? Algorithms, evolution and the future of art

Urszula Boryczka , Tomasz Płosa

Language: EN | Published: 25-04-2025 | Abstract | pp. 18-19

This article addresses the interdisciplinary issue of the relationship between evolution and art, in which algorithms, specifically evolutionary algorithms, play the role of a mediator. The starting point is a reflection on the inspirations drawn from biological evolution theory, which has found application in genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming, and other computational methods. The text shows how algorithms not only optimise solutions to technical problems but can also stimulate creative processes. It attempts to answer the question about the future of art in the era of artificial intelligence and the role of emotions or empathy in the digital creative process.

The Union of Art and Information Technology

Krzysztof Gdawiec , Adam Bała

Language: EN | Published: 03-11-2023 | Abstract | pp. 18-21

It is now difficult to imagine the world of art without the presence of elements of information technology. Just as people used to primarily paint with a brush on a canvas or sculpt in stone or wood in the past, nowadays many works are created with a greater or lesser contribution of digital technologies. AI (Artificial Intelligence), which is now able to generate artworks using algorithms and neural networks, AR (Augmented Reality), and VR (Virtual Reality) technologies are now increasingly entering the domain of art.

Utilitarian Problems under the Control of Artificial Intelligence

Katarzyna Stołpiec , Krzysztof Szwarc

Language: EN | Published: 08-11-2021 | Abstract | pp. 28-29

In recent decades, technology and IT have completely dominated the global job market. Human-made virtual reality is no longer controlled by human beings as tightly as it is done by AI. Numerous algorithms perform a sequence of tasks to improve human work as much as possible. Among the areas of their activity, ecological waste management deserves special attention, since it requires an interdisciplinary approach to ensure highly efficient flows of raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products from the place of consumption to the place of origin.

Studying memory process in the brain

Karina Maciejewska , Małgorzata Kłoskowicz

Language: PL | Published: 08-04-2021 | Abstract | pp. 26-27

How do we remember facts? Why do we forget some of them but remember others for years? What processes must take place for the memorization process to produce the desired results? Although scientists have been trying to discover all the secrets of our brain for years, we still do not know much about this organ. Knowledge of the processes taking place in the body of a healthy person can provide inspiration on how to look for ways of treating people with various neurological disorders and how to inhibit disease processes. Knowledge from neuroscience is also sometimes applied in sciences related to artificial intelligence, primarily in so-called machine learning.

To hear the Other

Piotr F. Piekutowski

Language: PL | Published: 07-04-2021 | Abstract | pp. 10-11

Worlds known from literature or science fiction films have accustomed us to terrifying contacts with the Other; be it through invasions of extraterrestrial civilizations or with soulless artificial intelligence. In his novels, Stanisław Lem often wonders what a real confrontation with an alien life form might look like and whether we would be able to hear it at all. In Golem XIV, the Other – a supercomputer – has the answer to probably every question plaguing humanity. The communication barrier seems not to exist; Golem has no biological body or senses, it is a perfect machine, pure Reason. However, a superintelligent computer must reach humans with its inhuman words.
