Luxury Brands Face AI-Driven Client Crisis

Daniel Langer responds to a viral Citrini Research dispatch (framed as June 2028) that imagines AI-driven white-collar displacement, collapsing consumer spending and a 38% S&P 500 decline. He warns that wealth concentration will erode the aspirational middle and imperil volume-driven and inauthentic luxury brands. He advises luxury leaders to use AI to deepen human understanding and prioritize genuine personalized experiences.
