Five chart to start your day

Artifical intelligence appears to be here to stay, so are you ready?

It was a cold crisp winter’s day in Boston. I was attending an AI conference at MIT, literally a week after ChatGPT had been launched.

The air was thick with fervent discussion, each word laced with the promise of revolution. This was no mere programme, it was a digital Prometheus. It was a revelation, a dramatic pivot in the narrative of technology. And to understand just how disruptive it proved to be, this data visualisation below, one year on, says it all.

It’s mind-blowing. A huge multi-billion dollar industry has arrived literally over night. It has appeared out of nowhere. But it’s here, and it seems it’s here to stay.
