About eBooleant
Dr. Philip Fischer spent his career at the center of financial markets. As Managing Director, Head of Municipal Bond Research and Indices, and Fixed Income Strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, he advised institutions on some of the market’s most complex questions and built a reputation for rigor over noise.
Today, through eBooleant Consulting LLC, he turns that same discipline on artificial intelligence — its economics, its ethics, and its human implications. His organizing principle took shape, of all places, in a Sicilian olive grove, where farmers who had adopted automation across generations had never once let it take charge. AI, he argues, should work the same way: a tool in human hands, never the reverse.
That conviction runs through his book, You Are AI’s Best Friend—From Olives to Algorithms: A Human Guide, written with Linda Marie Fischer and published by Minted Prose on June 30, 2026. Drawing on travels from Greece to Cuba, China, and Namibia, and on interviews with professionals across fields, it offers not a manual of tactics but a way of deciding what to do in the age of AI.
