– I am very pleased that we can meet at the seminar devoted to metrology and its role in technological development supported by artificial intelligence, as today, it is an extremely current and dynamically developing topic, present in many areas of the economy and industrial applications, said Jerzy Jóźwik, Director of the Polish Metrological Union, welcoming the gathered participants. - Today's seminar is a space for exchanging knowledge and experiences – experts from various centres across Poland meet here. This shows how broad and important the metrological community is today, and the role it plays in the development of modern technologies.

Piotr Ziółkowski, Director General of the Central Office of Measures, emphasised the role of metrology as a key element in the development of modern technologies. - I am very happy about the next meeting in Targi Kielce, as our presence here, and the joint seminars have already become a tradition of exchanging ideas between science and industry. This year's meeting is particularly important, as artificial intelligence is an area in which the Central Office of Measures is intensively developing its expertise. It's not just about computational capabilities, but also about creating new systems, including in the context of national security. We've already completed the first studies, which have yielded very promising results.  I hope that in the near future we will be able to present specific projects implemented in consortia with other entities, emphasised the Director General of GUM.  

The first thematic session was devoted to fundamental issues in the use of metrology for technological innovation. – Metrology is the foundation of many areas of our lives, yet it often remains invisible. For me, as a chemist, its importance is primarily related to the safety of the environment, health, food, and medical therapies. A sense of responsibility for the measurement result is crucial. It's the basis for decisions—often of significant social, legal, and economic significance—that are made. That's why measurement consistency is so crucial.  It means that we can sign our names to the result – that it is reliable, credible, and compliant with the requirements of the standards, said Prof. Ewa Bulska from the University of Warsaw. In the context of artificial intelligence, a question arises: Does AI support this coherence, or does it disrupt it? This is one of the key issues we are considering today. Metrology – as the foundation of trust in data – will play an increasingly important role in the development of modern technologies, including artificial intelligence-based solutions.

 AI in modern metrology

The next lecture by Mirosław Pajor presented the concept of a digital twin for a CNC machine tool, supported by artificial intelligence. At the same time, Kamil Jonak discussed the role of AI in modern metrology. The participants' attention was also drawn to the presentation by Rafał Jóźwiak on the application of metrology in medical imaging and on building trust in artificial-intelligence-based solutions.

The second session focused on practical aspects of using metrology in the industry of the future.  Anna Timofiejczuk spoke about the transition “from measurement to innovation, emphasizing the importance of reliable data for technology development. Marcin Kwiatkowski raised the problem of so-called "metrohallucination,, the influence of measurement noise on erroneous conclusions generated by AI systems.  Dariusz Brzozowski presented the possibilities of modern metrology in industry supported by artificial intelligence, and Dariusz Knapek discussed the use of intelligent vibration sensors in the diagnostics and monitoring of engineering facilities.

In the third session, experts focused on the future of metrology and its role in the development of advanced technologies.  Tomasz Kozior presented issues in standardisation in 3D printing, while Marcin Krawczyk presented modern methods for assessing the uncertainty of AI-assisted measurements. Konrad Kobiela discussed the prospects for developing the National Coordinate Metrology Network, and Jakub Karasiński presented projects implemented at the University of Warsaw as part of the Polish Metrology II program.

The seminar ended with a summary by Jerzy Jóźwik, who emphasised that metrology – although often invisible – is the foundation for the development of modern technologies, especially amid the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence.

The meeting confirmed that the Industrial Spring at Targi Kielce is not only a space for presenting technologies but also an important forum for exchanging knowledge and experiences between science and industry.
