We have a pleasure to invite you to participate in the scientific conference “Aesthetics of Humanistic Management in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” which will take place on March 20, 2025 (Thursday) at 11:30 AM. This event is organized as part of a research project involving over 30 scholars from Algeria, Poland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The project brings together experts in management, marketing, media, education, political science, sociology, psychology, philosophy, aesthetics, and art.
The conference will present research exploring the aesthetic dimension of the paradox between preserving humanistic values in contemporary social and organizational activities and the growing integration of artificial intelligence solutions.
The conference will be conducted in English and held in a hybrid format: in person at Collegium Civitas and online via Microsoft Teams (the participation link will be shared at a later date).
Our distinguished honorary guests and speakers include: Professor Monika Kostera (Poland), Professor Antonio Strati (Italy), Professor Steve Taylor (USA), Dr. Ernst von Kimakovitz (Switzerland), Professor Abdul Rahman (Malaysia), Professor Łukasz Sułkowski (Poland), Professor Stephen Linstead (UK).
