Tomáš Lintner visits the Mitchell Centre in Manchester to finalize joint research on illicit darknet drug market dynamics.
SΛTIS member Tomáš Lintner is currently visiting the Mitchell Centre for Social Network Analysis at the University of Manchester, one of the leading hubs for social network research in Europe.
During his stay, Tomáš is working with Tom Diviák and Kris Pranevskis to complete a joint research project on the dynamics of an illicit darknet drug market network. The project applies advanced network methods to better understand how online illicit markets evolve over time — including how participants form, maintain, and dissolve their connections in environments shaped by anonymity and risk.
The visit is also an opportunity to strengthen the ties between the SΛTIS Lab and the Mitchell Centre, and we look forward to seeing the results of this collaboration in the coming months.
SΛTIS member Tomáš Lintner appeared on Czech Television to present findings from the ai:dolescence research collection. His study shows that three-quarters of Czech high school students use AI tools daily, roughly half in ways that break school rules, and a smaller share even to create deepfake content targeting classmates.
SΛTIS members Tomáš Lintner and Markéta Žáková, together with colleagues from the MEDIS:ON project, have published a new article in Education and Information Technologies. Based on data from 2,307 Czech seventh-graders, the study finds that relying on GenAI instead of building understanding is negatively linked to achievement — while frequency of GenAI use itself shows no positive effect.
