Can we still have trust in the public sphere today? We explored this question with journalist and war correspondent Vojtěch Boháč, founder of the news portal Voxpot. We talked about information warfare, disinformation, the future of the media, and why trust in verified sources will become more important than ever in the age of artificial intelligence.

When he is not in the newsroom in Prague, he is often found in places where reliable information is particularly difficult to come by. Just a few days before our interview, Boháč had returned from Odesa, Ukraine.

How can we tackle cybersecurity legislation and AI with confidence while keeping a sense of perspective? That was the theme of this year’s TechForum, one of the Czech Republic’s largest IT conferences dedicated to the latest technologies. The event brought together IT managers, specialists and representatives of the companies and organisations driving technological progress. While most attendees appeared to have accepted the requirements of the new Cybersecurity Act as a reality and felt able to adapt to them, cybersecurity in an era of widespread AI adoption is an issue causing concern across the entire industry.

Tamara Ksandrová leads the team of recruiters at Aricoma and is one of the most prominent figures in Czech HR. When she talks about her work, you listen with interest, even if you are not normally interested in HR. Her energy is contagious, her laughter sincere, and her approach simply different. “Recruitment is a sinusoid. Sometimes there are more candidates, sometimes fewer, but you can never let up,” she says with insight.

You probably see them every day. People who stand out from what others perceive as “normal”, but who are also capable of coming up with or doing incredible things. Gifted individuals. Psychologist Šárka Portešová, associate professor at Masaryk University, has devoted her entire professional life to supporting these people. Together with her colleagues, she has developed a software program for diagnosis. Additionally, she openly argues that we as a society should finally stop trying to fit individuals into any norm.

Until recently, quantum computers sounded like distant science from laboratories. Today, however, they are becoming a serious tool. IBM alone operates several dozen quantum computers in the cloud, and more will rapidly emerge from other vendors. The decisions being made right now will determine who manages to adopt the new technology and who gets left behind. Europe is trying. But will it be enough?

In 2019, I dusted off my long-held dream of seeing Europe's northernmost road, the legendary Nordkapp. Unfortunately, I had very little time for vacation, so I didn't even tell anyone else, as I wouldn't dare force anyone to grind away most of the days. So I decided to treat the journey as the destination and enjoy the ride itself rather than the experiences in the surrounding area. At the same time, I was tempted to clear my head a little and rely only on myself and my machine along the way. I had never done a solo trip like this before, and you have to try everything, right?

David Sibřina has something at work that I'm sure none of you have. It's a 3D print of a liver with all its protrusions and projections, and it's a bit of a symbol. The researcher, who works at IKEM as head of the augmented and virtual reality surgery planning group, actually started working on incorporating virtual reality tools into the surgical process the moment it became clear that even modern planning techniques using just 3D prints weren't enough.

The need to adapt, to deal with server and database capacity, to scale. When you say charity, you don't associate any of those words with it. But David Procházka, the founder of Donio, the largest and well-known donation platform in the Czech Republic, doesn't tend to think that way. On the contrary, he talks about Donio as a technological tool that facilitates help. In the interview, he explains what it entails and what has made it so popular. He and his team have managed to solve old problems much more efficiently using new tools.

It is pretty hard to imagine a job, a school day or life in general without computers, phones and technology in general. But daily exposure to them has an impact on people and contributes to shaping their lives. How can we make the most of them, the positive side, and not be influenced by the negative side? This is what psychologist David Šmahel has been researching at Masaryk University (MU) for years. In contrast to others, you will not hear apocalyptic scenarios from him. Instead, he speaks engagingly about all the consequences of the digitalisation of life that we are still unaware of.

Chances are, you're already familiar with it and are no stranger to the word "prompt". The use of generative AI tools has massively increased in recent months, but they can't be used everywhere. Sensitive corporate data doesn't belong in the public domain. So people are looking for ways to create protected systems that allow analysis and generation of information without data leaks. Aricoma's specialised team is working on this and has therefore also teamed up with the mathematics institute of the Brno University of Technology.

"We've been carrying chip debt since the 1970s, Europe was happy to get rid of chip production because it's water and electricity-intensive. And now we're slowly and painfully catching up. At the same time, we will need more and more chips, and even more sophisticated ones than today," says Tomáš Pitner, professor at the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University and head of the research centre, about the situation in which the Czech Republic and Europe find themselves. But in exactly which way?

The number of cyberattacks will not decrease. Let's face it and defend ourselves. This is how one could sum up the words of Paula Januszkiewicz, a Polish cybersecurity expert who spoke this spring at Security 2024, Aricoma's annual conference about IT security trends. Januszkiewicz, whose company CQURE has four offices around the world, spoke about why companies and institutions can't resist attacks, how to get more experts, and where the industry is headed.
