Umetna inteligenca: izkušnje iz našega laboratorija in vprašanja, ki jih odpira

 

izr. prof. dr. Matjaž Humar

Institut »Jožef Stefan«, Ljubljana, Slovenija

 

 

Umetna inteligenca v zadnjem času pospešeno postaja pomemben člen znanstvenega dela. V predavanju bom najprej pokazal, kako modeli umetne inteligence delujejo in kako hitro napredujejo. Pri tem se bom osredotočil na naše lastno eksperimentalno delo. V laboratoriju smo postavili sisteme, ki v celoti tečejo na strojni opremi na našem inštitutu in podatkov ne pošiljajo z inštituta. To sta osebni asistent, ki upravlja z domačim arhivom, in laboratorijski asistent, ki upravlja z dokumenti, meritvami in evidenco opreme skupine. Prikazal bom konkretne primere iz našega raziskovalnega procesa, od iskanja idej, pisanja projektnih prijav in člankov do načrtovanja, optimizacije in avtomatizacije eksperimentov na področju fotonike, mehke snovi in kvantne optike. Zaključil bom z vprašanjem, kaj to pomeni za samo znanstveno delo: kaj ostane naloga raziskovalca, česa naj se učijo študenti in katera tveganja so resna. Umetna inteligenca nas namreč spodbuja k razmisleku o tem, kako z novimi orodji izboljšati sam znanstveni proces in kako s tem poglobiti razumevanje narave.

 

O predavatelju: Matjaž Humar je znanstveni svetnik na Institutu »Jožef Stefan«, kjer vodi Laboratorij za biofotoniko, mehko fotoniko in kvantno optiko. Je izredni profesor na Univerzi v Ljubljani in prejemnik dveh projektov Evropskega raziskovalnega sveta (ERC). Trenutni je namenjen razvoju kvantnih virov svetlobe iz mehke snovi.

Artificial intelligence: experience from our laboratory and the questions it raises 

 

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Matjaž Humar

Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia

 

 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important part of scientific work. In the lecture, I will first show how AI models operate and how rapidly they are advancing. I will focus on our own experimental research. In the laboratory, we have built systems that run entirely on hardware located at our institute and do not transmit any data outside it. These include a personal assistant that manages our internal archive and a laboratory assistant that handles documents, measurements, and equipment records. I will present concrete examples from our research workflow, ranging from generating ideas and writing project proposals and papers to planning, optimizing, and automating experiments in photonics, soft matter, and quantum optics. I will conclude with a discussion of what this means for scientific practice: what remains the researcher’s responsibility, what students should learn, and which risks are significant. AI encourages us to reflect on how new tools can improve the scientific process and deepen our understanding of nature.

 

About the lecturer: Matjaž Humar is a scientific councilor at the Jožef Stefan Institute, where he leads the Laboratory for Biophotonics, Soft Photonics and Quantum Optics. He is an associate professor at the University of Ljubljana and the recipient of two European Research Council (ERC) grants, the current one devoted to developing quantum light sources from soft matter.
