I recommend reading this excellent article written by Bruce Schneier of Harvard Kennedy School and Nathan Sanders, which discusses the tsunami of texts and other products generated by AI and its diverse repercussions.

Should your city want to host the Olympic Games?

Having planned for one city after the Games (Calgary), planned one city before and during (Vancouver), and advised one city during bidding & a referendum (Oslo), I’d say most cities shouldn’t, and it depends a LOT on WHY you want it.

In almost every way, Vancouver’s Games were the opposite to Beijing’s, certainly in the budgets involved - but if Beijing’s goal was national reputation and identity-building, Vancouver’s Games did that in spades, without a single piece of iconic starchitecture.” My article in @opinion.bloomberg.com

As the Milan Olympics are about the start, I find myself thinking back about our own experiences with the 2010 Vancouver Games.
