Stories before the posthuman future

Is it still humans teaching the machine? But for how long?

AI Summit 2025 doesn’t just raise questions — it seeks answers.
When will the machine surpass its teacher — becoming faster, better, stronger?
How can we harness these advancements to improve life for everyone?
And what will the world look like when humans and machines no longer shape the future separately, but together?

Key Topics in 2025

AI and Law
Regulating the Infinite?
Authority, regulation, restriction, or technological freedom? Are these mutually exclusive or mutually reinforcing elements of the future? How can valid and enforceable rules be created for a continuously evolving technology? Who bears responsibility when AI makes a wrong decision? Is it possible for legislation to keep pace with AI development? The legal regulation of artificial intelligence is a global challenge that transcends national borders. Lawmakers must consider not only the technology but also its societal and ethical implications.
AI and Humanity
Who Will Be Our Friends?
AI in our lives – from dating apps to technophobia. How does artificial intelligence affect the authenticity and depth of human relationships? Can an artificial companion replace the emotional value of real human connections? What impact does AI-based communication have on empathy and trust? AI’s presence is increasingly reshaping human interaction – can we still keep up with this change, or are we merely drifting along?
AI and Finance
Automated Trust
I entrusted my wealth to an algorithm! But what will my heirs receive? AI is revolutionizing the financial sector by making decision-making faster, more accurate, and personalized. AI systems can analyze market data in real time, assess risks, and forecast investment opportunities. But how effective are they really, and how do they compare to human decision-making?
AI and Healthcare
Healing with AI
Healthcare is coughing – is AI the cure? Faster diagnoses, personalized treatments, and more efficient patient care – that’s what AI promises. AI algorithms can detect diseases like cancer at early stages. Virtual assistants and chatbots already help patients interpret basic symptoms or book appointments. AI also supports drug research, shortening development cycles and cutting costs. Could healthcare become a true success story with the help of AI?
AI and Warfare
Algorithms on the Front Line
No need to fear war anymore? What happens when robots fight robots? AI plays an increasingly significant role in modern warfare – from reconnaissance to decision support and operating autonomous weapons. AI can analyze vast battlefield data in real time, giving a tactical edge through quicker and more accurate military responses. AI-controlled drones and robotics can reduce human casualties – but they also raise new ethical and legal dilemmas.
AI and Space Industry
Intelligent Outer Space?
Who will conquer Mars – robots or humans? Extreme environments don’t affect humanoids, but humans remain vulnerable. Are 21st-century space conquests already being handled by algorithms? AI plays a key role in space exploration, from operating autonomous spacecraft to real-time mission control. Intelligent technologies are opening new opportunities in space research and commercial use – while also creating new challenges in terms of security and regulation.
AI and Education
Digital School, Digital University
Learn so we can teach AI – and then AI replaces our teachers? Even before AI, the 19th-century school model was outdated. But how can an unfailing, personalized learning model improve it? Digital assistants and chatbots offer 24/7 access to learning materials and tutoring – students can only blame themselves if they fall behind. But what should we learn to ensure that people in welfare societies become more than just bored consumers and instead find meaningful careers?
AI, Media and Entertainment
The Strikes of the Future
A humanoid robot anchors the evening news, followed by a soap opera written by a generative AI model, then a music show featuring AI-generated songs – a scenario that today seems hypothetical, but tomorrow could be reality. This technological breakthrough creates tensions between creators and studios. Creative professionals fear AI could replace human workers and blur the lines of copyright.
AI in Photography and Fine Arts
The Digital Rebellion of Art
When humans and algorithms co-create – could this mark the beginning of a new artistic era? The emergence of AI in photography and fine arts fundamentally questions traditional definitions of art and the role of the creator. AI tools allow anyone to create visually stunning content, democratizing creativity. At the same time, they raise new dilemmas about originality and copyright. This digital art rebellion is not just about technology – it’s about pushing the boundaries of human expression.
AI and Business
Imagine the Company of the Future
A flexible, learning organization – that’s the business of the future. With AI, companies automate routine processes – no more repetitive tasks! Human resources can focus on strategic and creative roles. AI supports real-time data analysis, predicts market trends, and offers personalized customer solutions. AI provides a competitive edge not only to large corporations but also to small and medium-sized businesses by making data-driven operations accessible.
AI and Built Environment
Smart Buildings, Smart Cities
Optimal energy use, transportation, and urban services – intelligent systems to accommodate all 8 billion of us. AI-driven city management improves quality of life while enhancing efficiency and sustainability – or so the tech advocates claim. Yet smart environments also raise new concerns around data security, surveillance, and transparency.
AI-Driven Manufacturing
Industry 5.0?
In Industry 5.0, AI not only automates production but also collaborates with humans, offering personalized, flexible manufacturing solutions. This human-machine cooperation brings new workplace roles where creativity, problem-solving, and tech skills are key. AI-based systems analyze operational data in real time, optimize production, and minimize downtime. Robots and intelligent machines no longer just follow orders – they learn, adapt, and make decisions within the production process.
AI and Commerce
Coded Cart
The algorithm knows what you'll buy before you do! AI is revolutionizing commerce by accurately analyzing consumer behavior and offering personalized recommendations. AI systems manage inventories in real time, predict demand, and optimize supply chains. Virtual assistants and chatbots help online shoppers make decisions, improving customer experience. In physical stores, facial recognition and behavior analysis enable targeted marketing and refined sales strategies.
AI and the Automotive Industry
The Era of Self-Driving
Self-driving cars on Hungarian roads? Many have predicted when weekend drivers will be replaced by autonomous vehicles, but only one factor has consistently dampened buyer enthusiasm: the price. As cars become more expensive, younger generations grow less willing to own one. Can AI help here? Can it lift the auto industry out of crisis? And if so, what remains inside the car – will there still be a steering wheel, or only infotainment systems?
AI TREND
AI Among Us – Developments in 2025
Welcome to the brave new “no code world”! Can we now command machines in human language? We can't say for sure yet, but the evolution of language models has undoubtedly taken human-machine collaboration to a new level. What are this year's AI innovations? Where do the tech giants stand with their generative models? These are the questions explored in the "AI Among Us" section.
