30 years ago, in order to read an ancient manuscript there was no other option but to visit the library which had it in its collection. Nowadays you can study such documents without leaving the confines of your bedroom – as long as you have a laptop or even just a smartphone, manuscripts of all kinds are just a few clicks away. It’s possible thanks to digitization – but what exactly is this phenomenon and why is it so important for the future generations? You will find the answers to those questions in Karolina Michalak’s conversation with Arleta Piwowarczyk, who represents Digital Libraries and Knowledge Platforms Department at the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center.

No wonder then, that we also use artificial intelligence in our professional lives to make our work more efficient. But is this really a good solution?
