Artificial intelligence has officially moved from science fiction into our daily toolkit. Whether you're drafting an email, brainstorming a new project, or debugging code, AI tools can dramatically boost productivity.

With the new year fast approaching, it’s worth thinking about how your organization can be more future-minded.

With the rise of artificial intelligence being at the forefront of many countries’ technological innovations, it’s natural that AI would be thrust into the crosshairs at some point.

Are you familiar with the works of Isaac Asimov? The author wrote a short story called “Runaround” in 1942, and it introduced the idea of the Three Laws of Robotics, or laws that all of the robots in his Robots series must follow. This stranger-than-reality concept is being used today by Google, which has announced a set of safeguards partially inspired by these three laws to help it control future AI-powered machines.
