Boom or bubble

In one week the headlines said both.

ZDF asked whether AI is a bubble while Nvidia and OpenAI traded hundred-billion-dollar promises. A viral MIT study said 95 percent of AI pilots fail. SAP began cutting jobs to fund AI. And Brussels switched on new AI rules.

You are supposed to set a commerce roadmap in the middle of all that. In 30 minutes, Emporix's Sebastian Lauk and Nicolas Berney react to the news, European and global, and give you a straight read on what is real for B2B commerce and what is just noise.

Takeaways

What you will leave with

A clear way to tell the AI bubble apart from the shift that is genuinely changing how commerce gets done.

An honest answer to why most AI pilots fail, and the unglamorous work that decides the ones that do not.

What Europe's new AI rules mean the moment you let AI near your customers.

The three moves worth funding now, and the hype worth ignoring.

Fair warning

If the AI bubble bursts next year, it will not change your commerce roadmap at all.

Expect strong opinions. We open with this claim and you can agree or disagree with it, live. Bring your view, and we will revisit it once you have heard the argument.
