The authors of "Why Not to Be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence?" offer a sober and expertly informed view of the current state and prospects of artificial intelligence (AI). Readers will learn in an accessible format what the technological foundations of AI are, what its history is, and how natural language processing is done in large-scale language models. The book also shows how AI applications are already being used today in industry, healthcare, robotics, or cybersecurity, and how AI can be used specifically in government or service industries, for example. A number of contributions are devoted to philosophical reflections on the role and possibilities of artificial machines, ethics and law in their use. "Why Not to Be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence?" is a collection of essays prepared not only by Czech experts in particular areas of AI. They refute myths, exaggerated expectations and artificially induced fears, and on the contrary, they emphasize its usefulness and usability. You may be surprised to learn that the Czech contribution to the development of this interesting scientific discipline is not negligible at all. The book is addressed to all those who, as a result of inadequate "popularization", fear the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence. It will also appeal to those who encounter AI to one degree or another on a daily basis, including IT professionals, students at all types of schools, and workers in industry, service, and government. The essays are not directly related to each other, are independent, and can be read in any order or skipped. Everyone can find what interests them the most.

CETE-P Research Excellence & Networking Leader, Tomáš Hříbek, and Communication & Dissemination Leader, Juraj Hvorecký, each contributed a chapter to this book.
