Who is Josef Holý?

Josef Holý is an IT professional and an expert in ethics related to artificial intelligence. When Facebook started to suspiciously resemble Skynet to him, Josef decided to start highlighting the pitfalls of social media that we often don’t even realize.

After some time, he teamed up with Alexandra Alvarová to create the podcast Kanárci v síti, where they show how phenomena like disinformation and populism spread through virtual space. The podcast covers a wide range of topics; in some episodes, Josef Holý interviews interesting guests, while in others, he and Saša Alvarová discuss what they want to say about current events or cases.
