Kommentar: Das Geld der Tech-Oligarchen hat nicht gereicht – Amerika stoppt das Silicon Valley

Handelsblatt reports that a clique of the super-rich is corrupting politics, but the midterm elections are hindering their efforts as citizens grow tired of "obscene fantasies of omnipotence."

In an interview with NZZ Wirtschaft, business ethicist Guido Palazzo draws parallels between the current artificial intelligence hype and past corporate scandals at Volkswagen and Credit Suisse. Palazzo, a professor of business ethics at HEC Lausanne, argues in his book "The Dark Pattern: The Hidden Dynamics of Corporate Scandals" that major corporate scandals are rarely the work of bad individuals alone.

Instead, he claims they are typically driven by toxic organizational structures where participants gradually become blind to their own misconduct.
