Imagine a company that creates a product millions of people use every day. Customers choose it freely, revenues soar, and investors celebrate. Yet many of its users would probably be better off if they used the product less. Has this company created value – or destroyed it?
Digital platforms and AI tools make this paradox increasingly important. They compete for our time and attention, respond to our preferences, and may even shape what we want. But is giving people what they choose the same as contributing to a good life?
In this seminar, we will explore what “creating value” really means. Through discussions, debates, and case studies, we will examine the relationship between choice, well-being, responsibility, and the good life.
