How to Define AI in Tax Administration (And Why It Matters for Governance)

Blog post 2 of 6 in the series “AI in Tax Administration.”

The presenter asked us a question that should have been simple.

“If a 150-million-euro airplane flies itself, takes off by itself, and lands by itself, is that AI?”

The room split. Most people said no. A few said yes. One person gave the answer that turned out to be correct.

“It depends on when you ask.”

If you cannot tell a clear story about what AI is, you cannot govern it, buy it, or defend it in court. So let us get the definition right.

Can You Run Ads to a TikTok LIVE? A Practical Guide to Promote, LIVE GMV Max, and TikTok Shop Ads

A student recently asked me a great question after watching a vendor run a TikTok LIVE stream.

"I noticed some TikTok lives appear on my screen much more frequently than others. Is that because they are being promoted through ads? How does it work? Can you actually run ads directly to a TikTok LIVE?"

Short answer: yes, you can. But the way it works depends on what kind of LIVE you are running. Let me walk you through the whole thing.

Note: TikTok updates its ad products frequently. This is a May 2026 snapshot. Always confirm the current workflow inside your own account before acting on it.

AI in Tax Administration (What 80% Use, 10% Govern)

AI in Tax Administration

I sat in a workshop last week where an IMF presenter asked three questions in a row.

"How many of you use ChatGPT at home?"

Every hand in the room went up.

"How many of you use it for work?"

Every hand went up again.

"How many of you have an official AI policy in your administration?"

Not a single hand.

That moment captured everything you need to know about where tax administrations actually stand with AI in 2026. We are already using it. We are just pretending we are not.

„Ma to je jednostavna aplikacija" - čuvena posljednja riječ svakog projekta

Zove me prijatelj Vladimir, snimatelj po profesiji, i kaže:
„Dejane, treba mi jedna jednostavna aplikacija. Raspored smjena. Ništa komplikovano, tabela, par radnika, ko kad radi. Možeš li to da mi napraviš?”

Ja kažem, hajde, ispričaj mi šta ti treba.

I tu počinje priča.

Kako odabrati prvi korak u IT svijetu kada te zanima sve i ništa konkretno?

Znaš onaj osjećaj kada gledaš u more informacija, sve ti izgleda zanimljivo, ali ne znaš odakle da kreneš, pa ne kreneš nigdje?

Upravo to je nedavno napisala jedna osoba u jednoj Facebook grupi.

Poruka je otprilike glasila:

Imam posao. Ne tražim rješenje preko noći. Učenje mi nije problem.
Ali ono što me koči je prvi korak. Odakle početi?

How My Forgotten YouTube Channel Quietly Earned €80 While I Was Building Something Else

A personal story of a faceless sound effects channel, 5 million views, and passive income that requires zero ongoing effort

It was a perfectly ordinary Sunday morning. I poured my coffee, opened my laptop to check emails before diving into work, and there it was: a payment notification from Google. Eighty euros had just landed in my account. I sat there for a moment, genuinely confused, trying to remember what I had done to earn it.

The answer was nothing. Nothing recent, anyway. No new videos uploaded. No promotions run. No emails sent. I had not touched that YouTube channel in years.

Why Your Retrospective Action Items Keep Disappearing (And How to Finally Fix It)

You run the retrospective. The team talks. Everyone agrees on what to improve. You write down the action items.

And then the sprint starts. And those action items quietly disappear.

Next retrospective? Same issues. Same complaints. Same lists that go nowhere.

If this sounds familiar, you're not bad at facilitation. You're not working with a difficult team. You're experiencing the most common and least talked-about problem in Scrum, and it has a name.

Zašto Njemačka automobilska industrija i dalje tone u 2026?

Zašto Njemačka automobilska industrija i dalje tone u 2026

Decembar 2025. godine donosi hladne vijesti iz Njemačke, ne samo zbog zime, već i zbog duboke krize koja trese srce njemačke ekonomije: automobilsku industriju.

Gradovi poput Ingolštata (sjedište Audija), Volfsburga (Volkswagen) i Štutgarta (Mercedes-Benz i Porsche) suočavaju se sa dramatičnim padom poreskih prihoda. Ovi „automobilski centri“, koji su decenijama živjeli od ogromnih uplata velikih kompanija, sada bilježe budžetske rupe koje prijete da ih dovedu na ivicu bankrota.

Prema najnovijim izvještajima, Ingolštat očekuje da će poreski prihodi za 2025. biti manji od pola originalnih procjena. Štutgart upozorava na pad prihoda od skoro 40% u odnosu na 2024, dok Volfsburg još traži načine da zatvori svoju finansijsku rupu. Ove gradove je kriza pogodila direktno jer su njihovi budžeti u velikoj mjeri zavisili od poreza na dobit velikih proizvođača automobila. Kada giganti poput Volkswagena, BMW-a i Mercedes-Benza bilježe ogroman pad profita – čak 76% u poređenju sa prethodnim periodima, najgori rezultat od 2009. – lokalne kase ostaju prazne.
