Dariusz Wylon Lead of AI for Higher Education, Central and Eastern Europe @Google

Dr. Dariusz Wylon works with university leaders to navigate the transition toward secure and ethical AI adoption. As Google’s Lead of AI for Higher Education, he is a vocal advocate for the "human side" of technology, focusing on implementations that bridge the gap between traditional classroom practice and the demands of a 21st-century workforce. He champions the concept of an AI-native university: a model where professors act as architects of learning, AI assistants provide personalized support tailored to each student's pace, and the curriculum is directly mapped to the future of work.

Dariusz’s perspective is shaped by a unique dual background: he combines two decades in academia, including a PhD in building competitive advantage in global markets, with 14 years in the software outsourcing industry. During his work as Chief Business Officer at Selleo, he helped startups and scaleups build the AI-driven EdTech solutions now reshaping global education. At Google, he collaborates with Rectors and Deans across Central and Eastern Europe to turn AI from a buzzword into a dedicated partner that accelerates research, streamlines teaching, and truly empowers students.
