(December 2025) Artificial intelligence is forcing a rethink across every sector, including – and, perhaps, especially education. For universities, the challenge is no longer whether to adapt, but how fast.
In this episode of Transform Talks, Executive Editor-in-Chief Gavin Allen speaks with Prof. Dr. Zoltán Rajnai, Vice Rector of General Affairs at the University of Óbuda in Hungary, about how AI is reshaping what it means to teach, learn, and run a modern university.
Dr. Rajnai describes a decade-long partnership with Huawei that began with foundational infrastructure and has evolved into a multi-layered collaboration spanning connectivity, cloud, and intelligent systems. The University of Óbuda was the first in Hungary to deploy Wi-Fi 7 across its campus—part of a broader strategy to prepare the institution for an AI-driven future.
For Dr. Rajnai, AI is not an adversary but an ally. It supports administration, enhances research, enables more personalized learning, and improves accessibility for students with disabilities—while freeing educators to focus on higher-value academic work.
