AI, Artificial Intelligence is taking the world by storm!  Whether we like it or not, it is here to stay and grow.   It's evolving at a  geometric rate.   So how is it affecting business and how can we use it to our advantage. 

On this episode, I chatted with IT expert,  Dave Demczuk, founder of Atria Systems.  Dave is a seasoned IT professional with over 25 years of experience in the industry. His interest in AI systems began in the early 2000's with some of the first publicly available generative learning algorithms.  His expertise lies in demystifying complex technological concepts, particularly in the realm of small business. Dave has a unique ability to translate the intricacies of AI into layman's terms, making it accessible and understandable for all. 

Dave shared his knowledge and experiences, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the practical applications of AI in the business world with a focus on ChatGPT and upcoming Microsoft features for business professionals.
