OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is gearing up to launch its Initial Public Offerings (IPO) this year. This financial manoeuvre would represent a pivotal shift for a project originally designed for the “common good” towards a market-driven logic.

Every year on 21 April, World Creativity and Innovation Day invites us to celebrate human ingenuity. Traditionally, that meant celebrating creativity through art, science, and new ideas. In an AI world, it also means asking a more uncomfortable question.
AI agent success isn’t about picking the right tool; it’s about choosing the right architecture. ESCP Prof. Alessandro Lanteri explains why organisations must design workflows around two core models: swarms for exploration under uncertainty, and assembly lines for reliable, high-stakes execution. By matching the architecture to the nature of the task, leaders can avoid common failure modes and unlock real operational value from AI agents.
The EU’s AI Act aimed to make Europe the global home of safe and responsible AI. But delays, business pushback and competition from the US and China raise a key question: can strict rules coexist with fast-moving innovation?

Generative AI can make work faster and easier, but it also risks lowering its quality. ESCP professor Benjamin Voyer explores how teams can use AI without letting standards slip.
Human-AI hybrid teams – where employees work alongside artificial intelligence agents – are becoming increasingly common across industries. Measuring the performance of these blended teams is crucial for corporate leaders to understand how AI impacts productivity, quality, and employee effectiveness. Yet traditional productivity metrics alone no longer suffice. Take marketing teams, for example. An AI…
Often dismissed as job-stealers, service robots may hold the key to greater inclusion in hospitality, according to research by ESCP marketing professor Héctor González-Jiménez and others.
As artificial intelligence becomes part of daily life, people turn to it not just for information but for comfort. On World Mental Health Day, we ask: what happens when technology meets us at our most human — and most vulnerable — moments?
