Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere. From headlines, office to the tools we use every day, AI is reshaping how we live and do business. But with so much buzz and technical jargon, understanding what AI actually is and how it functions can feel overwhelming.

To cut through the noise and really understand AI, we speak to:

  • Gary Goudsmit, Account Technology Strategist, Microsoft
