It’s time to talk about the elephant in the room. Whether we like it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer reserved for just the tech heads.

Artificial Intelligence a blessing or curse to communicators?

27 February 2023
I was at a networking event recently, when I was in conversation with someone working in the sales department of a tech company.
