The bad news is that most discussions are based on opinions, not facts. The industry is full of strong opinions. The good news is that we can attend conferences again.

I find the industry awash with opinions but short on research-backed answers. In my opinion, Gen AI should help us redefine work. Sadly I observed that as the training and knowledge sharing over the last two decades became more available, it was also less valuable as the supply chain became more mainstream.
