Public Lecture by Sandro Asatiani “Popularizing Science Through Modern Technologies”

How can the unique calligraphy of Mzekala Shanidze appear on signs in a modern city? Can artificial intelligence transform a complex scientific article into an engaging audio podcast in any language?

The lecture by Sandro Asatiani, Associate Professor at Ilia State University, will address these questions and present examples of the intersection between technology and the humanities:

▪️ From calligraphy to digital font: reviving Mzekala Shanidze’s manuscripts and applying them in publications and urban spaces;
▪️ Artificial intelligence (NotebookLM) as an assistant: transforming scientific texts into audio reviews;
▪️ Reconstructing history: visualizing past events using generative AI tools;
▪️ Research on screen: dynamic video presentations of scientific discoveries.

📝 The lecture will be of interest to students, researchers, and anyone curious about how modern technologies are transforming the culture of knowledge sharing.
