Intro
As I mentioned in the intro of this week’s Free Edition, starting this week, the Splendid Edition gains exclusive access to the A Chart to Look Smart section.
This section will continue to be about reviewing high-value industry trends, financial analysis, and academic research focused on the business adoption of AI. Going forward, there will be even more emphasis on hard-to-discover academic research that might give your organization an edge.
Also, the section Screwed Industries changes name to What’s AI Doing for Companies Like Mine?
Let me know what you think about these changes.
