I can think of three major technological innovations I've seen in my career: the internet (connecting everything), mobile (connecting all the time), and big language models (LLM, generative AI). The penetration of the first two has been relatively slow (within years). AI, on the other hand, has swept in like a hurricane.

65,000 kilometres, 22 countries and 606 days. In 2016, motorcyclist and traveller Vojta Lavický set off with his then-girlfriend on the trip of a lifetime around the world. Thanks to this, he saw with his own eyes the remote villages of Peru and Huascarán National Park, the yurt pastures and wild horses of Kyrgyzstan or the Mongolian lunar-like landscape. The trip showed him many times that even bad things are good for something in the end and that the most important thing about travelling is to have the courage to actually go.

New technology has arrived and with it a lot of new questions. How many times have you experienced this? Lawyer Petra Dolejšová has done it many times, and right now she is dealing with almost nothing but the legal aspects of using artificial intelligence. "We revolve around questions of who owns the output from AI, whether it is possible to generate images of specific people and whether you can use styles such as of the painter Mucha or heroes from Marvel movies. All of this is legally quite clear, but it turns out that people are still grasping the essence of copyright law," muses the expert, who believes we have much bigger thinking to do - who do we "pin" responsibility to for any potential transgressions of technology.

Careful, this is a very painful topic. That’s because we’ll be talking about burns with Jitka Schořová and Miroslav "Miki" Volk. Specifically, how data, annotation, artificial intelligence, mobile apps and advanced image recognition methods can play a part in burn diagnosis. This is exactly the task that the SYSCOM Software development team was assigned by the largest burn centre in the Czech Republic (and one of the biggest in Europe), the University Hospital Královské Vinohrady. And it is already - since the beginning of this summer, to be precise - part of Aricoma, the Czech Republic’s largest IT group.

Anything can now be done electronically. You can order lunch and groceries to take home, make a doctor's appointment, or enrol on a course at college. Meanwhile, what is still the music of the future is documentation. But that future is around the corner. A consortium of entities has been set up at the European Commission to deliver, within two years, a prototype European digital identity, which serves as the basis for electronic documents, internationally valid prescriptions for medicines or a driving licence that will be valid everywhere in the Union. Experts from Aricoma, who specialise in identity verification and authentication, also have a role to play in this long-awaited step forward.

Philosophy and mathematics may be far more closely linked than they might first seem. And an open chat with Hynek Cihlář, who works in the VPT4 team, only confirms this. In addition to advanced statistics and neural networks, we also touched on the topic of human values and the difference between artificial and human intelligence. "It is only humans who will decide whether the positive or negative qualities of artificial intelligence will prevail in the future. It is our duty to work continuously to develop it in the desired direction and to enable us to identify and monitor the inherent risks early on. In any case - it will be a major task," says the solution architect, who started his twenty-first season in the Autocont jersey, now Aricoma, at the beginning of the year.
