Essentials: How AI Took Over

Despite its unprecedented growth, AI still remained a mystery for many firms. We covered the ups and downs of a true business boom. 

Few people had heard of ChatGPT when 2023 started. But by spring, 150 million people were using the AI tool to help them write software code, design marketing presentations, and accomplish countless other work-related tasks. The emergence of large-language models like ChatGPT has forced leaders to ask some existential questions about their organizations. How should AI change their company’s business model? The workday? The role of human employees? Stakeholders of all types want answers to these questions— sooner rather than later.
