Having the advantage of information can be key to long-term success

In this video, Thomas and Raúl Bergen from GetAbstract share that in entrepreneurship, information is power—but only when it’s verified, relevant, and actionable.

Entrepreneurs who know how to filter noise, validate sources, and turn knowledge into decisions have a major edge over those who rely only on instinct or unverified data.

Because today, the difference between moving forward and falling behind isn’t just about having ideas—it’s about having the right information to execute them and sustain success over time.

We’re witnessing the biggest change in the last 10,000 years

Raúl and Thomas Bergen explain that artificial intelligence isn’t just another tool—it’s one of the most important inventions in human history. We’re living through a transformation that will redefine how we learn, work, and build businesses.

That’s why entrepreneurs must understand it, use it, and feed it with verified, trustworthy information. AI is only as powerful as the data behind it, and those who learn to use it now will hold the advantage in the future.

What I want is to face this change with an open spirit, not with fear—to see the possibilities and talk as much as possible with people who know a lot, to avoid the dangers that also exist

Raúl and Thomas Bergen reflect on how to face the rise of artificial intelligence. The key, they say, isn’t fear—it’s openness: seeing the possibilities, learning from experts, and engaging in dialogue to ensure AI is used ethically and responsibly.

Because AI can be a force for progress or for harm—it all depends on how we use it. The difference lies in our attitude: choosing to understand, discuss, and guide technology toward the common good instead of fearing or misusing it.

For leaders, it’s crucial to understand the possibilities, limits, and ethics of artificial intelligence

Raúl and Thomas Bergen explain that artificial intelligence won’t just transform the tools we use—it will redefine the business models that organizations rely on. That’s why leaders must understand what AI can do, what it can’t, and where the ethical boundaries lie.

Those who grasp this new reality will be able to anticipate change, adapt strategically, and lead responsibly. The future won’t belong to those who use AI thoughtlessly, but to those who know how to integrate it with purpose, judgment, and humanity.

💥 SparkLab Skill in Action: Critical thinking – Assess the opportunities, limits, and ethical dilemmas of technology to lead with vision and responsibility.

We have to make sure AI treats us exactly the way we want it to—and if it doesn’t, we must have the ability to pull the plug

Raúl and Thomas Bergen discuss the ethical responsibility behind developing and using artificial intelligence. They emphasize the need to ensure that AI acts according to human values and that we always retain the ability to stop it if it doesn’t.

Having faith that human values can be properly transmitted to technology is essential—but it’s not enough to trust blindly. We must design, regulate, and use AI with awareness, transparency, and control. True innovation isn’t just about what AI can do—it’s about how we decide it should act.
