AI has arrived. Everywhere you look, everything you read, and everything you hear, AI is said to be the big “what’s next”. The truth is, it has been slowly creeping into our lives for years, but it wasn’t until the “whiz-bang” emergence of ChatGPT that it caught mainstream attention. As a quick summary, artificial intelligence (AI) technology aims to simulate human intelligence and problem-solving tasks by rationalizing data and taking action to achieve a specific goal.
