    The keynote speakers will include two prominent figures in world research:

    Hynek Heřmanský (Johns Hopkins University, USA and FIT BUT, Czech Republic) who specializes in speech processing and will focus on the question "Why should we ask why?". This issue touches on a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of different methods in automatic speech recognition.

    In his talk, Preslav Nakov (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, Abu Dhabi) will discuss the current challenges associated with the factuality of large language models (LLMs) and how these models can be kept safe and factual.
