LIVING WITH SMART TECHNOLOGY - 
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND DANGERS
Koper, Slovenia, 25 November 2020 
The event “Living with smart technology - development opportunities and dan-
gers” took place on Wednesday, 25 November 2020, in the large hall of Koper The-
ater. It was organized by the Science and Research Centre Koper (ZRS Koper) in 
cooperation with Koper Theater, and broadcast live via the websites and Facebook 
pages of ZRS Koper, Koper Theater, and the Regional Portal. The conversation was 
chaired by Rado Pišot, PhD (Director of ZRS Koper), and among the invited speakers 
were Gorazd Andrejč, PhD (Institute for Philosophical Studies ZRS Koper and Uni-
versity of Groningen, the Netherlands), Gašper Hrastelj (Deputy General Secretary of 
the Slovenian National Commission for UNESCO), Uroš Marušič, PhD (Institute for 
Kinesiology Research, ZRS Koper) and Matej Mertik, PhD (Alma Mater Europaea 
ECM, Maribor). The 1.5-hour talk focused on rapidly developing technology, the 
penetration of artificial intelligence into many areas of applied sciences, medicine, 
engineering, and related fields. The speakers agreed that in many ways, intelligent 
technologies can facilitate human work and life efforts, provide immense help in 
treatment and rehabilitation; but at the same time represent a decisive departure from 
evolutionary patterns and life practices, appropriating and isolating humans. The mo-

derator encouraged the speakers with burning ethical issues of technology use; the 
speakers also touched on content related to the evolution of the web, the importance 
of critical reflection on the impact of smart technologies, and the artificial intelligen-
ce revolution that is becoming part of everyday life.

ŽIVLJENJE S PAMETNO TEHNOLOGIJO – 
RAZVOJNE MOŽNOSTI IN NEVARNOSTI
Koper, Slovenia, 25. november 2020 
Dogodek Življenje s pametno tehnologijo – razvojne možnosti in nevarnosti je 
potekal v sredo, 25. novembra 2020, v veliki dvorani Gledališča Koper. Znanstveno-
-raziskovalno središče Koper (ZRS Koper) je v sodelovanju z Gledališčem Koper 
organiziralo dogodek, ki se je prenašal v živo prek spletnih in Facebook strani ZRS 
Koper, Gledališča Koper in portala Regional. Pogovor je vodil dr. Rado Pišot (direk-
tor ZRS Koper), med povabljenimi govorci pa so bili dr. Gorazd Andrejč (Inštitut 
za filozofske študije ZRS Koper in Univerza v Groningenu, Nizozemska), Gašper 
Hrastelj (generalni sekretar Slovenske nacionalne komisije za Unesco), dr. Uroš Ma-
rušič (Inštitut za kineziološke raziskave ZRS Koper) in dr. Matej Mertik (Alma Ma-
ter Europaea ECM, Maribor). V enoinpolurnem pogovoru so udeleženci govorili o 
hitro razvijajoči se tehnologiji, pronicanju umetne inteligence na številna področja 
aplikativnih znanosti, medicine, inženiringa in podobnih področij. Govorci so se stri-
njali z dejstvom, da lahko pametne tehnologije v številnih pogledih olajšajo delovne 
in življenjske napore človeka, neizmerno pomagajo pri zdravljenju in rehabilitaciji, 
hkrati pa pomenijo odločen odklon od evolucijskih vzorcev in življenjskih praks ter 
človeka posedejo in osamijo. Moderator je govorce spodbujal z odpiranjem perečih

etičnih vprašanj uporabe tehnologije, udeleženci so obravnavali tudi vsebine, vezane 
na razvoj spleta, pomembnost kritičnega premisleka o vplivu pametnih tehnologij in 
revolucije umetne inteligence, ki postaja del vsakdana.
