As we start 2023, it’s hard to miss articles talking about AI and data intelligence. This transformational trend has captivated nearly all industries, and is already making an impact in our lives, our workplaces, and our society.
Data and AI are introducing new ways to create insights and solve problems. From all the buzz of ChatGPT and Deepfakes now, to the advent of radio, calculators and the internet itself years before.
Technology drives innovation – but it’s people who apply this technology to create real change for real people. To decrease burnout, to fight crime, to feed our world better – and to help save lives.
