AI is all over the place

Hey all. As a product person you constantly receive and digest a lot of information. I’m not an exception.

I decided to digest some of it for you and share the most interesting and thought provoking articles and blogs about Product and Technologies. I’m committed to do it at least weekly.

Good to see the positive trend - companies are no longer laying people off. I hope this trend stays and we see another surge in hiring. By the way, some think that AI (yeah, again) is responsible for markets recovery.
