Love it or hate it, it would be pretty safe to say that AI is going to be here to stay.  I would encourage everyone working in IT to be working to gain at least a basic understanding of what AI is and how they may be able to leverage it in their daily work.  Before we can use it safely and effectively we must first understand the beast that we're dealing with.  While AI could prove to be a tremendous productivity multiplier in your daily work routine, it may have devastating consequences for you and your organization if not used responsibly.
