Łukasz Borzęcki - AI for Business and Development: Practical Tools and Strategies

The conversation this week is with Lukasz Borzecki, the CEO of VM Software House, a company specializing in bespoke IT project implementation using a nearshoring model for the central European countries of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.Lucas has a background that combines both sales and IT, starting with selling ERP software before transitioning to development, and eventually management. He emphasizes the importance of understanding business language for developers, as well as the need to move beyond just writing code. He also believes that AI developers will replace those who don't. Lucas is also a husband and father of three and enjoys playing the guitar and the accordion and hiking in the mountains.Lucas's unique perspective is that AI is a tool that helps with productivity, reduces busy work, and allows for more strategic thinking. He believes that AI is constantly evolving. However, he also stresses the importance of human involvement and decision-making, especially in areas governed by laws such as the EU's AI Act.When he's not working, Lucas enjoys playing the guitar and accordion and even uses his accordion skills to create a unique and positive work environment by playing "Happy Birthday" for employees on their birthdays.If you are interested in learning about how AI is being applied across multiple industries, be sure to join us at a future AppliedAI Monthly meetup and help support us so we can make future Emerging Technologies North non-profit events!Emerging Technologies NorthAppliedAI MeetupResources Mentioned in this EpisodeVM Software HouseGitHub CopilotMidjourneyThe McKinsey WayStory Brand (Building a Story Brand by Donald Miller)AI ActKey Topics DiscussedThe importance of understanding business language for developers and the ability to communicate with clients.AI as a tool for increasing productivity, reducing busy work, and focusing on strategic tasks.The role of AI in modernizing legacy software and processes.The evolving nature of AI and how it is not a 'zero to one' change, but rather a gradual process.The need for human involvement in AI processes and decision-making, especially in legal contexts.Using AI tools such as Copilot and Midjourney.Applying AI to various industries such as semiconductor, automotive, education, industry, and finance.The importance of considering the business impact of AI, – increasing revenue, decreasing costs, or decreasing risk.How to use AI for learning, and how to apply common sense when using AI tools.Enjoy!Your host,Justin Grammens
