Attention matters—but only for the obvious
Disinformation poses a significant threat to national security, particularly when it targets military and law enforcement personnel who can inadvertently amplify false narratives. This study investigates the role of attention in mitigating susceptibility to disinformation, focusing on members of the Czech armed forces and law enforcement agencies. Using a quasi-experimental survey design, participants were exposed to simulated disinformation in c…
Governance of AI and by AI
This article develops a conceptual framework that links the governance of and by artificial intelligence (AI) into a single continuum that varies across political regime types. Although existing scholarship typically treats governance of AI—oversight, regulation and ethical alignment—and governance by AI—the embedding of algorithms into decision‐making—as separate domains, this article argues that such a dichotomy obscures their mutual dependence…
How political regimes affect national cybersecurity
Towards a structural turn in consciousness science
Recent activities in virtually all fields engaged in consciousness studies indicate early signs of a structural turn, where verbal descriptions or simple formalisations of conscious experiences are replaced by structural tools, most notably mathematical spaces. My goal here is to offer three comments that, in my opinion, are essential to avoid misunderstandings in these developments early on. These comments concern metaphysical premises of struct…
Playing mean
Games allow players significant freedom to express themselves and behave as they see fit. As a consequence, in some games more than others, we may encounter hostile behavior. We explored whether players behaving in this manner are simply expressing their personality traits in the game or, rather, adopting this playstyle regardless of them. We conducted a three-year study observing over 250 people playing the turn-based, player-versus-player strat…
What is a mathematical structure of conscious experience
Several promising approaches have been developed to represent conscious experience in terms of mathematical spaces and structures. What is missing, however, is an explicit definition of what a ‘mathematical structure of conscious experience’ is. Here, we propose such a definition. This definition provides a link between the abstract formal entities of mathematics and the concreta of conscious experience; it complements recent approaches that stud…
Battling Defense Austerity Cuts With the Covid-19 Crisis Response? The Czech Army’s Online Public Perception
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced militaries worldwide to join the fight. Numerous (e.g., British or Czech) armed forces seized the opportunity to propagate their domestic pandemic mitigation activities to improve their public image. However, defense budgets are usually cut first in times of crisis. Such cuts, or the mere threat of them, can have severe strategic and national security ramifications. This research, both exploratory and explanatory,…
The Night Wolves
The article researches the Russian Night Wolves Motorcycle Club from the perspective of the sharp power concept. It is argued that NWMC serve as a proxy for Russian sharp power, playing the role of messenger for pro-Kremlin propaganda in European countries through Victory Roads events. Using a mixed-methods Google Search data and media content analysis, the article analyzes the effectiveness of the Victory Roads events as a sharp power propaganda…
