MIT Technology Review on Artificial Intelligence

​

OpenAI was catapulted into the headlines when it released ChatGPT 3.5 open access in November 2022. It wants "to ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity." While ChatGPT 3.5 has its limits, a modest US$20 per month will grant access to ChatGPT 4.0, which "can see, hear, and speak" and has all the latest data... we use it every day.

​

Tableau.com  "... is a visual analytics platform transforming the way we use data to solve problems—empowering people and organizations to make the most of their data.
