Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University, Poland

Dr. Michał Paluch is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Philosophy of Education at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw. In his research, he attempts to link the classic categories of Western philosophical anthropology (encounter, dialogue, relationship, self, conscience) with the generative possibilities of artificial intelligence. He considers these proposals theoretically and tests them in the practice of pedagogical counseling as part of work on his own concept of developing "deep competences". The main areas of research on deep competences are:
- creating an inspiring space for the meeting of students and teachers
- developing sustainable speaking and listening
- enriching the other person with your own presence
- Revitalizing the meaning and seriousness of being a teacher
The meeting in Kuala Lumpur on ITEA 2024 is also an opportunity for him to search for wisdom categories within Eastern anthropology that can be used in its theoretical and practical implications.
