The evolution of travel, the evolution of business
Recently, Turistec published an article of mine titled “Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizes the Traveler’s Experience.” In it, I shared my real-life experience using ChatGPT to organize a trip. How it proposed a four-day itinerary with very little information provided. And it wasn’t a standard getaway that can be found in any weekly newspaper supplement. It was…

Google Glass: Murder by night and with malice aforethought
Google has recently announced that it is discontinuing its Google Glass project. Those famous glasses that projected information onto the glass itself. And that had a camera to see and record what you were doing. It is not the first time I talk about this product. It was a good example of failed innovation. Especially…

Clash of the Titans Over Artificial Intelligence
It seemed to be a lost battle. It’s been many years since Google came to dominate the world of search. It did something that, even after all the time that has passed, still seems incredible: It put the entire internet into a single search engine. And in doing so it blew up every other search…

People are going to…

“Run over” by an Artificial Intelligence
Just 2 weeks ago, I gave a talk on “digital skills” to university students. The basic objective was to make them understand that either you keep up with technology or you will get run over by it. And I actually gave quite a few examples on the evolution of Artificial Intelligence. There were many other…

Social is becoming less and less social
Social is supposed to refer to relationships between humans. And social networks are the result of establishing such relationships. People connecting with people. Platforms that allow people to tell whatever is on their minds. And other people can read it, listen to it, see it. And give their opinion. With hearts, thumbs or, if you’re…

On the Treasury, the Judiciary and the security of your business
I know this is not the first time I have spoken about this. And, probably and sadly, it will not be the last. News in the press these days: A hack through the judiciary steals data of half a million taxpayers from the Treasury. The Information Services speak of an unprecedented data leak that also…
