The AI REVOLUTION
Technology has worked its way into every area of our life. It dominates our communication, transport, food production, healthcare, and even the way we choose to define “being human”.
However, with the rise of the Internet, it became clear that what technology offered us, more than simply convenience or efficiency in day-to-day life, was the ability to collect, store and access information in a way never seen before.
