This paper aims to focus and further develop the issue of the potential applicability of Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences for exploring some crucial issues concerning interpreting as well as problems emerging in interpreters' everyday professional life. The paper begins by presenting Gardner's theoretical assumptions referring to human intelligence. Gardner' s conceptual differentiation of intelligence argues that the idea of psychometrics (IQ tests) is too narrow and therefore irrelevant to the wide range of human cognitive abilities. The paper next describes some of the types of intelligence such as linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, visual-spatial, interpersonal and intrapersonal as well as naturalistic intelligence that fulfill a significant role in conference interpreting. The final part of the paper provides concepts for potential relations existing between interpreting and different types of intelligence.
This article analyses some of the most significant aspects of the exploratory adventure around the physiology of consciousness which the Polish writer Stanisław Lem provides in his science-fiction novels and essays. It is argued that the onto-epistemological and ethical problems associated with the complex mind-brain relationship, the sophisticated medical intervention devices that involve neuronal communication, and the challenges that humankind faces in view of the physical and intellectual evolutionary advance largely determine Lem’s perspective, which is shown to lie between fantastic inventiveness and plausible foresight.
The article contains considerations relating to the dynamic development of artificial intelligence, which is the fastest growing technology in the world. The article attempts to define concepts that state what intelligence and artifical intelligence is (1). It also draws attention to the development of artificial intelligence (2). All of them are closing arguments seeking answers to the question: Artificial intelligence – an opportunity or a threat? (3). It should be borne in mind that the continuous improvement of the possibilities of artificial intelligence means that it will be able to surpass human intellectually.
Autor analizuje metodologiczną specyfikę takich dziedzin nauki jak kryminalistyka, kryptografia, archeologia czy program SETI, wskazując, że wbrew twierdzeniom zwolenników teorii inteligentnego projektu, którzy utrzymują, iż stosują analogiczną metodologię, teoria ta istotnie się od nich różni na płaszczyźnie metodologicznej i nie posiada znamion naukowości.

Author analyzes the methodological specificity of such scientific disciplines as forensics, cryptography, archeology or SETI program showing that intelligent design theory, contradictory to claims of its proponents, applies essentially different methodology and there is no indication that it is a scientific theory.
W artykule ukazuję miejsce obecnej, piątej rewolucji technicznej w procesie przemian cywili-zacji. Omawiam technologie definiujące każdej z nich. Piąta rewolucja przemysłowa to rewolucja w zastosowaniach sztucznej inteligencji w technologiach i przemyśle. Pytaniem podstawowym jest: jakie konsekwencje dla edukacji niesie upowszechnienia tych rozwiązań.

The article shows the place of the present, fifth technical revolution in the process of transfor-mation of civilization. I am discussing the technologies defining each of them. The fifth industrial revolution is a revolution in the applications of artificial intelligence in technologies and industry. The basic question is: what consequences for education brings about the dissemination of these solutions.
