Vote in BI Today's trend-focused March Madness bracket

This. Is. March. The NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments kick off this week, and March Madness is one of the year's best sporting events. We're running a bracket of business trends and need your vote: an eight-team field seeded one through eight.

A colleague is doing a companion bracket focused on specific companies. Voting stays open until Thursday night; I'll share results next Monday, then open another round and repeat until a winner emerges. I skipped last year after having a kid; in 2024 the final was the US presidential election versus artificial intelligence, with the election narrowly beating AI.

I left the war in Iran out because the situation is fluid. The first-round matchups are SaaSpocalypse (1) vs Autonomous vehicles (8), and Prediction markets (4) vs Tariffs (5).

The other pairings are Vibe coding (3) vs Longevity (6), and Private credit (2) vs Robotics (7). Cast your vote and we'll keep the bracket moving.
