Shares in AI companies have powered a huge runup in the stock market this year, but users are beginning to question whether the craze will fall flat.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wether we like it or not AI is here to stay, and in 20-30 years, it’ll be as embedded in our lives as computers and smartphones are now.
