AI Won't Replace Humans - But It Will Change How We Make Decisions

Have you heard the phrase “AI won't replace humans - but humans with AI will replace humans without AI”? I personally love this quote because it perfectly encapsulates the nature of the anticipated workforce shift from the rise of generative AI.

AI Like a Rockstar

Will ChatGPT Save the Chatbot Industry? (Part I)

There's no denying that OpenAI's remarkable artificial intelligence applications (ChatGPT and DALL-E) have captured the zeitgeist and hurled the topic of Generative AI into every company boardroom. Conversations range from apocalyptic hand-wringing to blissful ignorance.
