On March 14, celebrated worldwide as Pi Day, a series of workshops and lectures were held at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Silesia. These activities focused on the history and development of artificial intelligence, showing its development from the first milestones to its current capabilities. The most important topics of the workshops included:
- Exploring practical applications and uses of AI in various fields.
- A demonstration of the PRISCILLA application, a tool developed within the FITPED AI project.
- An introduction to free online courses designed to teach the basics of AI.
The event was primarily aimed at high school students and teenagers, offering them a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of artificial intelligence. High school students participated in interactive lessons and activities developed within the FITPED AI initiative. One of the key attractions of the event was the lecture entitled “Artificial Intelligence – Myths vs. Facts”, which captivated the audience. The PRISCILLA application, with its potential for solving AI tasks, aroused great interest and enthusiasm from the participants.
