I’m seeing AI emerge in many areas, from education and healthcare, including dentistry and pharmacy, to smart grills and hotel operations. It’s also influencing legal practices, manufacturing, and our daily technology interactions in apps like ChatGPT and Zoom, and could potentially alter how we plan travel with services like KAYAK.
