By Devin Partida Constant leaps are being made in artificial intelligence (AI). AI is constantly changing and becoming a bigger part of people’s daily lives. With AI tools such as ChatGPT taking the world by storm, artificial intelligence is much more than an app providing weather forecasts or the time.
