AI as the Enabling Layer Between Governments and People
15:55 - 16:15, 20th of May (Wednesday) 2026 / Inspire
Recognized as one of the most influential rising figures in AI in the Czech Republic, he is dedicated to repairing the fractured relationship between citizens and institutions, replacing bureaucratic language with systems that understand the urgency and nuance of human life.
On the Inspire Stage, Martin presents AI as the enabling layer between governments and people, outlining a Civic Nervous System that allows institutions to listen at scale without losing their soul. He addresses a core leadership challenge, the hand-off between machine and human, showing how AI can manage large-scale data routing and instant acknowledgment, while humans retain accountability and judgment.
By shifting focus from individual tickets to predictive infrastructure, Martin shows how cities can detect friction before it escalates. When institutions close communication loops reliably and transparently, they don’t just fix infrastructure, they rebuild trust.
He also reflects on real-world experience, including failed approaches, difficult trade-offs, and decisions under uncertainty, such as slowing AI deployment to preserve accountability. The talk offers practical lessons from working with governments beyond typical success stories.
