As part of the 17th Days of Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the special program “AI Across Disciplines” will bring together leading experts from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region to explore the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in contemporary society.

Artificial intelligence is already transforming the way we work, create, heal, communicate, and make decisions. Through an interdisciplinary dialogue, participants will discuss the latest developments, practical applications, and emerging challenges of AI across a wide range of fields — from medicine and science to art, education, economy, and public life.

Topics will include:

✔ current research and real-world applications of AI

✔ the role of AI in medicine, creativity, and innovation

✔ opportunities and implications for society and the economy

✔ ethical, legal, and practical challenges of implementation

Rather than viewing artificial intelligence solely as a vision of the future, this event highlights AI as a present-day tool with the potential to address real societal needs and reshape professional practice across disciplines.

Join us and take part in an open conversation about the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on our world today.

Promocija knjige: IZMEĐU ETNONACIONALIZMA I GRAĐANSKE DRŽAVE

Integralna politika: Novi društveni ugovor za BiH

Autori: Asim Haračić, Nermina Mujagić i Indira Nović

Promocija knjige održat će se u petak, 5. juna u 18:00 sati na Fakultetu političkih nauka, Skenderija 72, Sarajevo.

Treba li Bosni i Hercegovini novi društveni ugovor o uređenju države?

Put Bosne i Hercegovine ka Evropskoj uniji je blokiran, a jedan od razloga je duboka polarizacija između dva politička pola: etnosa (narod kao kolektiv) i demosa (građani kao pojedinci).

Fokus etnosa usmjeren je na etničke identitete i etničko dobro - na ono što se smatra dobrim za bošnjački, srpski ili hrvatski narod.

Etnos vjeruje da je nužno očuvati institucionalni primat etničkih identiteta čak i po cijenu ograničavanja pune ravnopravnosti svih državljana, a demos polazi od stava da politička prava ne smiju zavisiti od etničkog izjašnjavanja. Tako liberalna perspektiva etnopolitiku doživljava kao prepreku demokratskom razvoju (BiH ne može u EU!), a etnička perspektiva građanski model uređenja države doživljava kao neprijatelja koji ugrožava kolektivne identitete. U toj binarnoj logici svaka strana sebe vidi kao nosioca istine, a drugu kao prijetnju.

Na koji način integralna politika može doprinijeti da BiH izađe iz postojeće pat-pozicije (država se ne može raspasti, ali se ne može ni razvijati) i izraste u moderno, demokratsko društvo - tema je ove knjige.
