I regularly meet a lot of senior leaders, from team leads and all the way to CEOs, that work at and run different industries. They are smart, experienced and respected individuals who have worked and have built successful organisations, made tough decisions and earned their place at the table too.…

I have seen how AI can transform industries, accelerate research and improve lives. Yesterday, I had a bad dream, not a nightmare, but an experience based on what…
