Programme Leader
Mantas Sviklas is a specialist in technology implementation, process thinking and applied artificial intelligence. He approaches AI not as a stand-alone tool, but as a new layer of how organisations create value. His experience with IT teams, Agile environments, digital transformation and automation projects allows the AI programme to be grounded in real implementation logic: from problem framing and value hypotheses to prototyping, integration and responsible use.
In the Artificial Intelligence programme, the focus is not on isolated tools, but on understanding where AI can create meaningful value. Students explore the logic of generative AI, data-driven solutions, automated workflows and human-AI interaction, while learning to evaluate reliability, risk, ethical implications and the impact of AI on products and organisations.
Under Mantas’s leadership, the AI direction develops specialists who combine technological curiosity with critical thinking. This is a programme for students who want not only to use AI, but to understand its limits and possibilities and turn AI solutions into tangible value for people, teams and business.
