Summary/Abstract: AI in Accounting. What the past and present mean far the future is an interdisciplinary work that shows how artificial intelligence and generative models are transforming the world of accounting. The authors combine the historical background of technology with practical case studies from global companies. The book is particularly important for accountants, who face the challenges of automation and redefining their role in the digital age. As reviewer Prof. Stanisław Hońko noted, they are the very audience who should turn to this book.At the same time, it serves as a practical guide to AI tools. The authors organize and systematize a wide range of technologies – from OCR and R PA, through chatbots and popular solutions such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, to large language models including GPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and DeepSeek. Such a broad spectrum can easily overwhelm, but this book provides a clear and structured introduction. Reviewer Prof. Karol Klimczak highlighted its logical structure and comprehensive scope, which make the work valuable for both scholars and practitioners.For that reason, AI in Accounting is not only essential reading for accountants, controllers, and auditors, but also an accessible guide for any one beginning their journey with AI – whether in finance, education, business, the arts, or any other field where artificial intelligence can become a source of support and inspiration.
