A brand that rests on its laurels may eventually find itself sitting on a corpse. EBACE was treated as a legacy institution rather than a product competing in a changing market. The event became a high‑cost ritual instead of a high‑value platform. The clearest mistakes made were strategic misreads of industry sentiment, failure to adapt the show’s cost/value equation, slow response to competitive pressure, and late, reactive restructuring. Let’s knock off the symposium and get back to...
I am the author of incisive articles, commentaries and interviews. Yet, in contrast, I also write fictional stories about fictitious people. I know the difference between both worlds and if you ask me: “Are people in a fictitious world acting more real, than people in the real world as time progresses?” Then my answer is that real life is indeed becoming increasingly artificial.

AI is advancing faster than our understanding of human behavior. AI is powerful but the human mind is sovereign. Humanity leads, technology evolves. AI is not the future. People are the future and AI is a tool that helps to get there. If AI guides decisions, who guides AI? Aligning AI with human behavioral science is not philosophical, it’s practical.
