Hello AiNews Readers!
This morning I’ve got a full schedule with one meeting and two interviews—including one where I’ll be speaking with Investor’s Business Daily as an expert voice on Apple’s new AI-powered phone. 📱✨
Because of that, today’s newsletter won’t include my usual in-depth articles. Instead, I’ve gathered a few reputable links so you don’t miss out on the latest developments in AI.
Thank you for your patience—tomorrow we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled program. 😉
