Olvasási idő: 6 perc

The exam period is over, and the summer break has finally begun. Although many people expect to feel energetic again after just a few days of rest, reality is often different: the mental and physical strain accumulated by the end of the semester does not disappear overnight. If you find it difficult to motivate yourself to make plans or feel like you need a break, that is completely natural. The good news is that summer offers an opportunity for genuine recovery. However, it is worth remembering that rest means much more than finally getting enough sleep. Continue reading “Summer Is Here – Recharge Yourself! Regenerate with Intention” →

Let’s admit it: the world of lightsabers is so captivating that we rarely stop to think about the plasma physics behind them. Yet if we dig a little deeper, it becomes clear that the worlds of science-fiction films and novels have long been more than simple entertainment—they function as a kind of intellectual laboratory where “what if” questions sometimes point toward real scientific directions.

Can an algorithm be empathetic? – What can you—and can’t you—expect from artificial intelligence?

Olvasási idő: 7 perc

“I understand that this might be difficult for you.” These days, a statement like this might not only come from a friend or a psychologist, but also appear in a chatbot’s response. In recent years, artificial intelligence has become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives: customer service chatbots answer our questions, digital assistants help us with our work, and more and more apps are trying to respond sensitively to users’ emotional states. But does artificial intelligence really understand us, or does it just mimic empathy extremely effectively?
