Cultural erasure - a domineering group systematically trying to eradicate a peripheral group's culture is a deeply dehumanizing practice. Prof. Pursey Heugens presented how Indigenous entrepreneurs may counter this troubling phenomenon. We enjoyed hosting Prof. Heugens and interacting with him on various topics!

Innovative managers and entrepreneurs are competing with others to champion their ideas. They feel the disdain of their target audience because of the "liabilities of newness and smallness." Enter Gen AI, which allows us to sharpen our ideas and deliver them in a story format. We can do quick and cost-effective idea generations and executions, further sharpening our business stories until we hit the sweetspot! #ai #genai #businessstorytelling #ideas #ideachampioning

How does rivalry affect technology exchanges between firms? Prof. Pedro de Faria took a deep dive exploring various mechanisms during his research talk today. Taehyun Lee Laura Dupin Isabella Pozzo Vilma Chila Jonathan Sitruk Lien De Cuyper Angelo Tomaselli Kevin Curran

The other day, I was having a conversation with my dad who finds Theo's Theories episodes amusing but a bit pointless. He is right. I have been quite influenced by Seinfeld (a show about nothing really) while growing up. This episode is also about nothing - a tribute to Seinfeld. In terms of Gen AI tools, Hedra came out with a new and improved model only last week. It makes talking shots very easy. It has some problems with animated faces I think - it performs better with more realistic faces. But still a huge improvement! YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gHUn3qRB https://lnkd.in/ebP6CERQ

My daughter is a fighter. She speaks four languages fluently and writes in three. She makes friends easily and is competitive in sports and extra-curricular activities. YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gHUn3qRB

Many have asked me about the use of Gen AI in valorizing knowledge. We spend years working on our research papers and a little play with Gen AI tools can create content that is accessible to a non-expert audience. And I am talking about a script that is in our control rather than the whims of an AI model that may hallucinate at the wrong places (ahem Notebooklm). After all, WE know our research better than anyone else. And Gen AI tools can help us valorize it. So if you are free and in Amsterdam on the afternoon of the 24th of October, drop by! Lunch is on us. (Courtesy - Teaching and Learning Centre @ University of Amsterdam) https://lnkd.in/eKbNNeFe

Based on her research, Nika has a campaign slogan for her dad's reelection. But Dad thinks she can't make inferences from a sample of two! https://lnkd.in/gHUn3qRB https://lnkd.in/eJcb8fXi

a great opportunity!

We had an energetic discussion in an early morning class on technological change and the creative industries. The conversation moved from social evaluations of Van Gogh in the late 19th century to technological disintermediation to Gen AI's impact on production and reception of cultural offerings. A good class discussion is like vitamin D on a grey day in Amsterdam:). #creativeindustries

What happens when you put a bunch of academics on a boat with drinks? They go wild playing games such as guessing famous theories and researchers from their field. So wild that the boat's captain now thinks that pursuing a PhD is the coolest thing.
