Hybrid-model dialogue · 10 minutes
Pavel Avdonkin: “From Russia with Love”
Pavel will introduce his hybrid model of AI business
storytelling: an approach in which the professional story is
not merely a polished marketing message, but an architecture
for a responsible educational, consulting, or coaching
practice. The Lab can test where AI assists
interpretation—and where it must not replace lived judgment,
client relationship, and accountable design.
Guest philosophy dialogue · 10–15 minutes
Muhammad Asghari: voice, truth, and self-creation
Professor Asghari, University of Tabriz and Editor-in-Chief
of the Journal of Philosophical Investigations,
brings contemporary philosophy, postmodern philosophy, and
pragmatism into the Lab. The dialogue asks when an
AI-assisted story is responsible interpretation rather than
convenient fabrication; how usefulness relates to truth; and
how human self-creation changes when a language model
participates in the telling.
