UTIA of the Czech Academy of Sciences: research in AI, signal and image processing, systems science, applied mathematics, and computer science. Partnering with universities, publishing Kybernetika, advancing science and innovation.
Even 500 years ago, people shared science with the public — like Dürer’s 1515 Rhinoceros, an early “popular science” print.

The Week of the Czech Academy of Sciences continues – visit ÚTIA Open Days! 🌍🔬

🤖 Artificial, but not dumb?
What can AI really do — and where do we still overestimate it?

We’re bringing these questions to Veletrh vědy - Science Fair. Come find us and join the conversation:
