Proč se nebát umělé inteligence? – Mařík Vladimír (2024)

The authors of the book Why Not to Fear Artificial Intelligence? offer a sober and professionally grounded view of the current state and prospects of artificial intelligence (AI). The reader will learn in an understandable form about the technological foundations of AI, its history, and how natural language processing works in large language models. The book also shows how AI applications are already serving in industry, healthcare, robotics, and cybersecurity, and how AI can be specifically utilized, for example, in public administration or services. Many contributions are dedicated to philosophical reflections on the role and possibilities of artificial machines, ethics, and law in their use. Why Not to Fear Artificial Intelligence? is a collection of essays prepared not only by Czech experts in various fields of AI. They debunk myths, exaggerated expectations, and artificially induced fears, while emphasizing its usefulness and applicability. You might be surprised that the Czech contribution to the development of this fascinating scientific discipline is far from negligible. The book is intended for everyone who, due to inadequate "popularization," fears the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. Those who encounter artificial intelligence in one way or another on a daily basis, including IT professionals, will also find it valuable.
