Description
In my July 1st 2023 live session, I discuss the remarkable progress that has been made in bringing AI tools like ChatGPT to the masses and empowering everyday people to tap into their creative potential. Just 6 months after its launch, ChatGPT already has over 100 million users, marking the fastest adoption of any technology in history. However, we’re still early in realizing the full potential of AI, and there is much more innovation to come. I explore the implications of this democratization of AI across industries and for society. Don’t miss this thoughtful and balanced perspective on the AI revolution unfolding before our eyes. #ai #chatgpt #future
