Generative AI, when harnessed correctly, has the potential to revolutionize the way companies operate, innovate, and compete.
Innovation isn’t just about novel ideas, but novel ideas that endure.
Investors and business leaders are always on the lookout for the next big thing, the paradigm shift that will upend industries and change the world. The hope is to get in early and ride the wave—or at least avoid getting flattened by it.
