Men focus on AI, women on community and content \u2013 that was the impression left by this year\u2019s K5 keynote. While the male speakers see AI as the ultimate game changer that could make online shops obsolete and secure the dominance of large platforms, the female speakers envision the future in creator and content-driven commerce. In this episode, Ingrid and Valerie discuss these perspectives and highlight where the common ground lies: in action, in speed, and in the importance of content. They also take a closer look at a perspective that is often completely overlooked \u2013 that of the consumer who simply wants, - or needs- , to buy at the lowest possible price.
