Several professors from the University of Munich were on stage discussing a problem that universities everywhere are now facing: students are increasingly writing essays with the help of generative AI. And, honestly, many professors seem genuinely uncertain about what to do next, because the essays often turn out to be remarkably good. Then one of the professors said something very…
People from business, academia, government and civil society have gathered here to discuss how artificial intelligence is already changing our world — and what kind of future we are moving into.

Back then, almost no one was talking about “smart homes,” but I was already fascinated by the idea that space, technology, systems, and devices could be connected into one intelligent organism.

But true leadership is not the art of defeating others. It is the art of transcending the fight altogether.
