A.I. Is Everywhere

If you've heard CEOs mention "A.I." multiple times during second-quarter conference calls, you're not imagining it. There have been an astounding 1,072 mentions of A.I. (and counting) so far.¹

Some believe that A.I. has the potential to reshape industries, automate processes, and improve efficiency, resulting in ongoing cost savings for companies. But in truth, it may be too early to tell.

While the impact and potential benefit of A.I. continues to develop, it is crucial to approach this trend with a discerning eye. It's likely that some companies benefit from the new developments while others will struggle to adopt the latest tools.

I want to assure you that I am closely monitoring the market in light of this ongoing interest in A.I. If you see any A.I. development and want to discuss it, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd welcome the chance to hear your perspective.
