Universities have always been the place where answers to complex questions are sought and new approaches are shaped. In recent years, one question has become increasingly important: how can we use artificial intelligence in a way that truly creates value? At TalTech, this shift has been clearly felt as well, because AI has become a part of everyday discussions, experimentation, and our shared vision.
Artificial intelligence has become one of the most talked-about topics of our time, and for good reason. It is no longer something that happens “somewhere far away” in big tech companies or research labs. AI has entered our everyday lives, and increasingly, it is shaping university life as well. It is present in our classrooms, laboratories, research projects, and even at the strategic decision-making table. When I reflect on how Tallinn University of Technology has changed in recent years, I see a university that does not fear new technologies, but instead knows how to interpret, explore, and apply them. Our strengths have always been engineering thinking, systematic approaches, and a willingness to experiment. These qualities make TalTech an ideal environment where AI can become not only an object of study, but a natural part of teaching, learning, and research. Kui mõtlen sellele, kuidas Tehnikaülikool on viimastel aastatel muutunud, siis näen ülikooli, mis ei pelga uusi tehnoloogiaid, vaid oskab neid mõtestada ja rakendada. Meie tugevus on alati olnud insenerimõtlemine, süsteemne lähenemine ja julgus katsetada. Just need omadused teevad meist ideaalse keskkonna, kus tehisintellektist võib saada mitte ainult uurimisobjekt, vaid loomulik osa õppe- ja teadustööst.
