On February 1st, 2024, at the Mindstone Sofia AI Meetup, Vladimir Petkov, CEO of Identrics, delivered a compelling presentation on leveraging AI to combat propaganda and hate speech. The event attracted over 130 attendees and served as a vibrant platform for discussing the intersection of technology and cognitive warfare.
