Krakow Conference on Computational Medicine 2025

Enhancing Virtual Human Twin with AI solutions

October 15–18, 2025, Krakow

Organisers

Sano Centre for Computational Medicine, Kraków Poland
Faculty of Computer Science AGH Krakow, Poland
Academic Computer Center AGH Krakow, Poland

Scope and topis

The conference’s motto is “Enhancing Virtual Human Twin with AI solutions“. Personalized medicine, focusing on the development of in-silico methods replacing in-vivo and in-vitro methods, should more effectively use the solutions brought by the AI revolution based on machine learning and data analysis methods; perceived not as competitive, but as supporting existing modeling and simulation methods.

Given the Organisers’ expertise in both computer simulation and artificial intelligence, the Conference will be an excellent opportunity to gain greater interaction between the communities working in these two fields. Computer technologies and high-performance computing are of key importance for progress in computational medicine and therefore an additional advantage of the Conference will be the inclusion of technical aspects of the use of new computing infrastructures.

The organization of the Conference is the result of the experience gained by the Sano team during Sano Science Day (2023, 2024) and cooperation in the Life Science Open Space organization (since 2019) and well as on a very broad experience of the Faculty of Computer Science AGH and Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH in this area.

Conference topics include

Mathematical medical models
Multiscale modelling
Computational modelling of organs and diseases
Patient data management and processing
Methods of acquisition, storage and retrieval of information in medicine
Analysis of medical images
Machine learning models for healthcare
Computer simulations using advanced computing infrastructures

Implementing Intelligence: Legal Challenges in Creating AI Solutions – a platform for sharing experiences (Wioletta Niwińska, Anna Kajda-Twardowska, Michał Kosobudzki) Legal and Data Protection Team

The implementation of projects, particularly involving AI solutions, imposes the need for lawyers to exercise due diligence to safeguard the interests of companies, software owners, but also to ensure the safety of end users. Looking at AI projects from a broader perspective is key to securing and developing AI systems that comply with normative principles, rules and standards of trustworthiness.

The implementation of AI tools requires multidisciplinary teams, which is possible for large entrepreneurs and difficult to achieve for smaller entities such as startups. Compliance with trustworthy AI and responsible AI principles can determine the success of the entire project and is key to building public trust for AI technologies.

The aim of the workshop is to respond to the needs of lawyers and those working with AI systems who may encounter difficulties related to the legal regulation of advanced solutions in their daily work. The workshop is intended to lead to an increased awareness among participants of the complexity of legal regulations that need to be considered when developing AI solutions. Through this workshop, participants will gain tips on the information needed to verify and the steps worth planning when creating AI solutions. During the workshop, speakers will share their experience in the legal security of the project being developed with a particular focus on IP and data protection issues. This workshop will be a space to share good practices from different regions of the globe. We hope that this workshop will inspire participants to plan projects outside the box and to look for unusual and creative solutions. IP and data issues are crucial elements of any AI software. It is hoped that the universality of the topic will enable the knowledge gained to be applied to most AI and Law projects and contribute to broad interest of the workshop by the audience. The workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to share their experiences and will be a platform for knowledge exchange, as well as an opportunity for networking. The value for the participants will be to broaden their horizons in terms of their roles and assigned responsibilities, which will allow them to more easily understand the perspective of the other people and entities acting within the project.

The target group of the workshop is the conference participants, regardless of their legal background, who may have different roles in the implementation of the AI project. The participation of representatives from different groups will allow the identification of legal risks from their perspective but may also lead to the development of a common way to mitigate them. The workshop is addressed both to people from the legal world (law students, lawyers) and the broader business world, including developers, C-suite, board of directors, compliance and data protection specialists, engineers and AI architects and people who do not have any experience in implementing AI tools such or those who plan to retrain into the world of artificial intelligence specialization. The workshop is scheduled for half a day. The training will be divided into 2 parts.
