Artificial intelligence is here to stay, and there will continue to be heated discussions of the pros and cons concerning the industry and the multitude of applications and solutions that can and will be provided. Elon Musk founded OpenAI in 2015 and left the board in 2018 and has cut ties with the company. He has had some harsh words about some of the so-called woke issues arising from the technology and is working on his own “anti-woke” AI to rival the company. That proves that we are still in the formative years, and big money will be made in the future.
