Public appearances

I regularly speak, moderate, and participate in public discussions where technology meets society, policy, and human impact. My public appearances focus on making complex systems understandable, challenging assumptions about “neutral” innovation, and opening space for voices that are often left out of technological decision-making. Whether on stage, in panels, or in public conversations, I aim to turn abstract debates into discussions that matter.

Speech General Assembly Amnesty International Austria

At the General Assembly of Amnesty International Austria, I delivered a speech titled “Moral Glitch: What Happens When AI Does Not Care.” I spoke about the dangers of treating AI systems as neutral tools, the moral blind spots built into automated decision-making, and why silence in the face of technological harm is itself a choice — especially when human rights are at stake.

Guest Expert on TV Markíza – Teleráno

I appeared on TV Markíza’s Teleráno to discuss the growing presence of AI-powered toys and their implications for children’s privacy, safety, and development. I highlighted why technologies designed for children require heightened responsibility and oversight, and why treating them as neutral or purely entertaining products can carry real risks.

Guest Soitron Local Host Podcast

I was a guest on the Soitron Local Host Podcast in an episode titled “Artificial Intelligence: Risks, Regulation, and the Future.” We discussed the real-world risks of AI systems, the role of regulation in protecting people and institutions, and why shaping the future of AI is ultimately a question of responsibility, not just innovation.


Guest in Disinforeport podcast: AI systems are used by more and more states. In reality they tend to be discriminatory

I was a guest on a podcast focused on the growing use of AI facial recognition systems by governments and their real-world consequences. We discussed why these technologies are often highly discriminatory in practice, how they disproportionately affect marginalized groups, and why their deployment raises serious concerns for human rights, accountability, and democratic oversight.

Guest in Disinforeport Podcast: Cybersecurity needs diversity. Representation of women and minorities is the key

I was a guest on a podcast discussing why cybersecurity urgently needs greater diversity, with a focus on the representation of women and minorities. We explored how homogeneity in the field shapes blind spots in security design and decision-making — and why inclusive teams are essential for building safer, more resilient digital systems.

AI aware universities

I led workshops for AI Aware Universities: Empowering University Communities for the Ethical Use of AI, including “Decoding the AI Black Box: What Lies Beneath the Surface” and “AI Ethics by Design: Can We Code Morality?” The sessions explored the inner workings of AI systems, their ethical implications, and how universities can equip students and staff to engage responsibly with technology.

Hosting Book Launch: AI prepare for the future

I hosted the book launch and moderated the public discussion for Umelá inteligencia: Pripravte sa na budúcnosÅ¥ at the Martinus bookstore. The event opened a broader conversation about how artificial intelligence is already reshaping work, education, and everyday life — and why preparing for this future requires responsibility, critical thinking, and public dialogue across disciplines.

Workshops for teachers, students and universities

I regularly deliver workshops for teachers, students, and university communities focused on artificial intelligence, digital wellbeing, cybersecurity, and the societal impacts of emerging technologies. These sessions are designed to make complex systems understandable, encourage critical thinking, and support responsible, ethical engagement with technology in education and beyond.
