**Can AI agents become integral members of your team in the near future?**

Join our event at Schenker Technology Center Warsaw to explore how these intelligent systems can enhance productivity, streamline operations, collaborate with human employees, and transform our future workplaces.

Additionally, we will address the question of whether we still need experienced software engineers or will they be replaced by AI. We will also talk about the potential limitations in implementing AI solutions across our organizations.

**SPEECHES' DETAILS:**

* *"**Are AI Agents Your Next Work Colleagues?"*** **by Samuli Salmela, Head of Digital Transformation at Schenker**

*In his January blog post, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that 2025 will be the year of **AI agents,** marking the introduction of digital colleagues into our workplaces. In his speech, Samuli will discuss how this development will affect our work and lives. He will also share his team's **experiences with implementing AI tools** within the work on the Customer Service Application Project at Schenker.*

* ***"Do We Still Need Good Engineers in the Age of AI?"* by** **Mateusz Jabłonowski, Head of Solution Quality at Schenker Technology Center Warsaw**

About Mateusz's speech:

*Mateusz will share his findings from **testing GitHub Copilot** and discuss his conclusions. As AI increasingly influences various aspects of our lives, the role of programmers is evolving. It's essential to identify the core competencies that programmers need to possess to work effectively with AI code generators.*

***Piotr Senkus*** *will present a practical approach to the implementation of AI in an organization. Instead of treating artificial intelligence as a threat, it will show you how to turn it into a valuable business partner. During his speech, he will discuss specific strategies for "taming" AI technology, sharing his experience of implementing solutions that support employees instead of replacing them. Participants will learn methods of building trust in AI and techniques for maximizing the benefits of this cooperation.*
