“I spy with my little eye...” Remember? Many of us played this game as children. The trick was simple: try, narrow it down, ask questions. If necessary, there was a hint. And eventually: hit. Today, we play a similar game – no longer in a room, but in an endless feed. The selection is not limited, but practically infinite. And instead of little hints, there is more content. More formats.

A friend who knows his way around the financial world replied: "That's fake. Buffett doesn't give such detailed interviews." He was right. Wow! This episode reveals a contemporary problem: fake news, which is not new. But the perfection with which it is produced today is new. Deepfakes, AI-generated content – the line between truth and fiction is blurring. Everyone needs to deal with it. Especially in business.<p style="margin-left:0

Guest article by Enkthsolmon Lkhagvadash – easier to spell and say “Enkul” – our youngest and, at the same time, toughest recruiter (born 1999).
