About

Dr. Imre Szalay is a leading figure in the standardization and education of artificial intelligence and robotics, with a particular focus on bridging the gap between advanced technology and practical, certified skill development. His most impactful work centers on the creation of a formal, internationally recognized training and certification framework for AI and robotics literacy. This is best exemplified by his seminal paper, "EDLRIS: A European Driving License for Robots and Intelligent Systems" (2021), which has garnered 24 citations and serves as the foundational blueprint for a professional, standardized system. Szalay’s major contribution lies in proposing a structured curriculum to certify not only students and young people but also the teachers who will educate them, thereby ensuring quality and consistency in AI education across Europe. His work directly addresses the critical need for a skilled workforce in an increasingly automated world, transforming abstract concepts into tangible, assessable competencies. By championing this "driving license" model, Szalay is actively shaping the future of how societies prepare for and integrate intelligent systems, making him a pivotal voice in the global conversation on AI readiness and educational reform.
