Based on the favourable climate in the country, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, Dr Miro Cerar, highlights that "Slovenia is now a partner and no longer prey" in an exclusive interview with The Slovenia Times. When asked about the challenges of the FDI environment in Slovenia, the Prime Minister explains how the new Investment Incentives Act will ensure equitable treatment and conditions for all investors.
The artificial intelligence phenomenon opens the issue of how much AI is really intelligent and whether people see AI as a treat rather than an opportunity. The Slovenia Times speaks with Philip Evans, Senior Advisor at Boston Consulting Group and a BCG Fellow, who points out that "Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for common sense". As he says, "a machine uses data and statistics, it does not understand what it is doing, it does not have common sense - it is purely statistical and therefore the things that machines do is limited by the data the machines has".
Fortunately, as human beings we should not be limited in our understanding of what we are doing. To lead a purposeful life, we should follow our passions. It is the festive season and let the glamorous air with the peculiar festive lighting on the streets and squares fill us with the inspiration to contribute to society through all the good we can. Maya Angelou, American poet, memoirist and civil rights activist said "Nothing can dim the light which shines from within" and it is especially important to be aware that when life does not help, there comes our courage and kindness to act honestly and honourably.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
