Mateusz spoke at the first PL:ON Festival at the Academy of Applied Sciences (ANS) in Nowy Sącz, which brought together science, business, and new technologies experts. His talk “Battle of minds” looked at cybersecurity and cognitive warfare: how algorithms, AI-generated content and disinformation compete for attention and shape decisions, and how our infrastructure can be compromised.

On 23 September he also met with the readers at the Pedagogical Regional Library in Nowy Sącz to discuss his book.
