2026 is approaching, but we are not done with the past year yet. 2025 was marked by a wide range of technological developments, particularly in one area: AI. In the latest Baaz Magazine, we therefore pay extra attention to the AI-revolution, which is steadily taking over the workplace.
Solutions, solutions, solutions: for almost everything, an AI gadget has now been invented. Navigating the landscape is not that easy. We consulted experts from the field about the best of these applications. In the magazine, you will read about the most practical ones from the past year and what awaits us in the coming year.
AI in the workplace
Artificial intelligence is seeping into the business world. This (still) new technology can be incredibly useful in marketing, IT, and finance departments. But how does it actually work? We looked back at the evolution of AI, the key names in the field, and Thomas Moerland, author of From IQ to AI, shows what the driving forces behind AI are.
Are you just getting used to terms like SEO and SEA? Thanks to AI, those are already becoming a thing of the past. Together with SmartRanking, Textmetrics, and Digital Inside, we looked at the changes in (online) marketing and which tools and tricks will prepare you for the future. Photographer Wilmar Dik also talks about using AI photos in your ads - is that a 'good move'?
We also spoke with jortt, which improves accounting processes with AI. In the accounting itself, they still keep the reins in their hands. Why? You can read about it in Baaz Magazine!
In this edition, we also look at the best AI applications in IT, in the WINMAG pro section of the magazine. Read all about local AI, Digital Twins that accelerate the production process, and the balancing act that AI must perform within cybersecurity.
AI & people
The addition of AI, the 'new colleague', also does a lot to us. Humanity plays a significant role in the AI debate and certainly deserves attention in this AI special. Hogan Assessments shows how AI puts humans back at the center when it comes to leadership, and Lars Sørensen explains how to overcome digital shame or AI anxiety.
The new digital reality also leads to additional mental health issues. The psychologists at Psyned see how important humanity is in this time. CEO Patrick Callahan takes us through the various forms of absenteeism and explains how to prevent burnout and work towards a better company culture.
We also interviewed Japanese monk Shoukei Matsumoto, who, with his book Work Like a Monk, shows how to find peace in these busy times. He shares his perspective on the digital revolution and how the teachings of Pure Land Buddhism help you cope with the overwhelming 'noise' in the workplace.
This noise also returns in daily life. Fortunately, there are also solutions here that make life a lot easier. Equipment is now adapting to you as a user. We have compiled a list of the best devices, from brands like Samsung and Google, with AI integration.
