Table of Links Abstract & Introduction Related Work Methodology Experiment Result Discussion and References The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has seen an intensification in the use of social media by governmental actors in cyber warfare. Wartime communication via memes has been a successful strategy used not only by independent accounts such as @uamemesforces, but also—for the first time in a full-scale interstate war—by official Ukrainian government accounts such as @Ukraine and @DefenceU. We study this prominent example of memetic warfare through the lens of its narratives, and find them to be a key component of success: tweets with a ‘victim’ narrative garner twice as many retweets. However, malevolent narratives focusing on the enemy resonate more than those about heroism or victims with countries providing more assistance to Ukraine. Our findings present a nuanced examination of Ukraine’s influence operations and of the worldwide response to it, thus contributing new insights into the evolution of socio-technical systems in times of war. 1 INTRODUCTION On 24 February 2022, Russia began a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine. The United Nations Human Rights Office has confirmed the death of 9083 civilians up to 18 June 2023.[1] However, their report highlights that the actual figures are believed to be considerably higher, and most estimates suggest more than 300 000 total deaths. In the midst of this immense tragedy, the two governments at war—Russia and Ukraine—are also waging an information war on many fronts. Due to the prevalence of the Internet as a primary information source for Ukrainians,[2] the war has been described as the first social-media war,[3] echoing the reputation of the Vietnam war as the “first television war” due to the role this medium had in informing the public about the conflict. Both governments and common people have been using social media to propagate their views on the conflict and affect global public opinion. A vivid example is @Ukraine, the official account of the Ukrainian government on Twitter.[4] This account was started in 2016 by Yarema Dukh while working as a press officer in the Ukrainian presidential office. One of the memes produced by this account, depicting “living next to Russia” as the worst possible headache,[5] has been shared more than 600 000 times and has reached 55 million views. According to the author, the goal of this meme was “to explain to some large and distant target audiences that Russia is the problem here, not Ukraine, the West, the U.S., NATO, aliens or anyone else”.[6] This account has posted a variety of content and has now become one of the most visible examples of memetic warfare from a warring government. An early definition of memetic warfare was given by the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence in Latvia in a document titled “It’s time to embrace memetic warfare” [25]. The document defines it as “the competition over narrative, ideas, and social control in a social-media battlefield” and is viewed as “the ’digital native’s version of psychological warfare, more commonly known as propaganda”. The authors argue that it needs to be brought into mainstream military thinking by investing in its development. While propaganda has long been a central component of war, memetic warfare introduces a new key aspect: its reach is intrinsically tied to how much its own audience is willing to spread it. Governments involved in psychological warfare used to rely purely on one-way communication media such as posters and radio. However, the two-way nature of social media implies that they have to convince their own audience to help spread their message to reach wider audiences. This characteristic creates a particular amalgam of social-media bottom-up dynamics with the top-down approach typical of military objectives and narratives. Different goals then might require spreading different types of content, which in turn might have varying degrees of success with specific audiences. Despite the importance of this matter, so far little research effort has been dedicated to the quantitative analysis of which aspects make memetic warfare more successful, which audience it is able to reach, and what are its consequences. These questions are of primary interest not only for the involved parties, but also for the global public opinion. In order to prepare, evaluate, and react appropriately, we need to better understand these novel techniques of propaganda, which are likely to become increasingly common in the future. Our analysis focuses on these research questions: RQ1 What are the main characteristics of memes shared by popular Ukrainian Twitter accounts? RQ2 Which attributes of a wartime meme are good predictors of its virality? RQ3 What is the geographic resonance of each narrative, and how does it relate to each country’s actions toward the conflict? We examine the content of the memes in terms of the actors involved, their emotional appeal, and the narratives used. Based on previous literature [18], we identify four roles within a narrative, depending on the moral quality of the actors in the narrative and on their perceived power. In our context, these roles often represent the benevolent moral quality of the author’s side or the malevolent one of the enemy. The narratives we identify are a powerful predictor of the virality of a meme. Content with a victim narrative—a benevolent, weak actor—has a 109% higher reach w.r.t. content with no narrative, while a villain narrative—depicting the enemy as malevolent and strong—increases reach by 32%. Finally, since one of the goals of these accounts is to influence global public opinion, we look at the success of the content geographically. Memetic warfare reach reflects important aspects of the offline world: the retweets per inhabitant in a given country correlate highly (𝜌 = 0.787) with the assistance given by that country to Ukraine. In addition, different narratives resonate differently with different countries. For instance, villain narratives resonate more than victim narratives in European countries bordering Russia. In turn, these different framings of the conflict are also reflected in the material assistance given by these countries. The success of malevolent narratives positively correlates with the share of GDP devoted to assisting Ukraine (𝜌 = 0.601, 𝜌 = 0.566). The present study has important implications for our understanding of the interaction between communication technologies and their use by governments and non-governmental actors during a conflict. We illustrate how social media may factor into a country’s strategic messaging during war, and how such messaging is related to the attention and aid afforded to the country. As cyber-influence campaigns become more common and sophisticated, we encourage the research community to apply a multi-factorial view of the relevant content, including visual and narrative aspects, to understand its resonance around the world.

Cryptography can be used to have not only decentralized and private money but also private communications. The activists known as cypherpunks knew this too well, and that’s why not only Bitcoin came out from that mailing list started in the ’90s. A bunch of free and useful cryptographic tools are the legacy of cypherpunks, including the one created by Phil Zimmerman —a remarkable cypherpunk even to this day. Born on February 12, 1954, in Camden, New Jersey, Zimmermann studied computer science at Florida Atlantic University, where he earned his degree in 1978. His career trajectory began with software engineering roles in various companies, including a stint at the nuclear power company, System Simulation Corporation, where he worked on cryptographic security systems. However, the interesting part is that he was also an anti-nuclear activist. It’s known that he was arrested for partaking in an anti-nuclear protest in Nevada, alongside prominent figures like Carl Sagan and Martin Sheen. This commitment to activism underscored Zimmermann's convictions, solidifying his standing within the anti-nuclear movement. Amidst the shifting geopolitical landscape of the early 1990s, Zimmermann's focus pivoted towards cryptography, recognizing its potential to safeguard private communications in an increasingly interconnected world. It was during this period that he would join the cypherpunks and create his ‘magnum opus’. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) This is a thing even Satoshi Nakamoto used to protect his emails, and it’s still widely used as a standard to achieve private communications. Developed in 1991, PGP is an encryption software designed to secure email messages. Zimmermann's motivation behind PGP was rooted in his concerns about government surveillance and the need for accessible cryptographic tools to protect individual privacy. In his own words: “It's personal. It's private. And it's no one's business but yours. You may be planning a political campaign, discussing your taxes, or having a secret romance. Or you may be communicating with a political dissident in a repressive country. Whatever it is, you don't want your private electronic mail (email) or confidential documents read by anyone else (...) PGP empowers people to take their privacy into their own hands. There has been a growing social need for it. That's why I wrote it.” As for its internal features, PGP uses a pair of cryptographic keys for each user—a public key and a private key. The public key, which is freely distributed, is used by others to encrypt messages intended for the user. Meanwhile, the private key, kept confidential by the user, is used for decrypting these messages. When someone wants to send an encrypted message to a PGP user, they obtain the recipient's public key. Using this key, they encrypt the message, ensuring that only the intended recipient, who possesses the corresponding private key, can decrypt and read it. This process provides confidentiality for the message. Additionally, PGP supports digital signatures, enabling users to verify the authenticity and integrity of emails. By hashing the message and encrypting the hash with their private key, senders create digital signatures that recipients can verify using the sender's public key. After PGP Back then, the US government considered cryptographic tools as weapons, and that’s why Zimmerman was investigated by authorities for the free distribution of PGP. Luckily, they dropped the case in 1996 without charges, and the cypherpunk founded PGP Inc., along with a new release of PGP. The company in charge of maintaining the software was eventually sold to Symantec in 2010. Following the success of PGP, Zimmermann has also been involved in various ventures aimed at bolstering digital security and privacy. In 2012, he co-founded Silent Circle alongside Mike Janke and Jon Callas, focusing on developing secure hardware and subscription-based software solutions. Additionally, Zimmermann collaborated with other key figures from Silent Circle and Lavabit (an encrypted webmail service) to establish the Dark Mail Alliance in 2013, with the objective of creating a new protocol to enhance email encryption, addressing limitations in PGP. Beyond his cryptographic endeavors, Zimmermann extended his influence to social networking platforms, advocating for ethical and privacy-centric alternatives to mainstream platforms like Facebook. His involvement in the social network Okuna, previously known as Openbook, aimed to provide users with a platform that prioritized privacy and democratic values over profit-driven models. Zimmermann's contributions have been widely recognized, with numerous awards acknowledging his pioneering work in cryptography and advocacy for digital rights. From inductions into halls of fame to prestigious accolades such as the Louis Brandeis Award from Privacy International and the Norbert Wiener Award for Social and Professional Responsibility, Zimmermann's legacy continues to resonate within the realms of technology and human rights advocacy. In a world of surveillance There’s a thing called “the Zimmerman law” that refers to his words about technology and surveillance: “The natural flow of technology tends to move in the direction of making surveillance easier (…) the ability of computers to track us doubles every eighteen months.” If the period is exact or not in reality, it doesn’t matter, because today mass surveillance and censorship have become common feats by governments worldwide. PGP can help us to protect our privacy and digital rights, but it’s not the only tool available for that. Obyte, for instance, can also help with private communications and decentralized, fast, and secure financial transactions worldwide. Built on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure, Obyte ensures global transactions without the need for miners or any other middlemen. This structure enables Obyte to increase its decentralization and offers a high level of control to its users. In addition to its financial features, where tokenization of any asset is also possible, Obyte integrates private communications functionality directly into its platform. Users can leverage Obyte's built-in messaging system in the wallet to communicate securely and privately, thanks to end-to-end encryption, similar to PGP. This feature enhances user privacy by enabling them to freely communicate without a company or government behind them, thus providing a comprehensive solution for both financial transactions and private messaging. As a result, we can say that Obyte is empowering users with a versatile platform for conducting secure and private interactions worldwide.

I'm speaking with LAN, the Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of BIT Exchange. Today, we delve into their personal blockchain journey and explore the strategic decisions behind introducing new trading markets and innovating and adapting to stay ahead in the rapidly changing crypto space. Please tell us about yourself and what you do at BIT Exchange I’m the Co-founder & Chief Operating Officer at BIT and have previously worked at Bitmain and Matrixport. I joined Bitmain in 2018. When Bitmain launched Matrixport in 2019, I joined Matrixport as part of the founding team. I served as the product leader of the trading department, where I helped design the first structured digital currency product for dual-currency wealth management. Matrixport initiated BIT in November 2019 and launched it in August 2020. As a co-founder of BIT, I now lead its strategic direction, encompassing business growth, product development, and operations. Can you explain the decision-making process that led BIT Exchange to introduce new trading markets? BIT Exchange is constantly exploring opportunities to expand our offerings and provide diverse investment options for our users. Our decision to introduce new trading markets, such as the one for EigenLayer Points (ELP), comes from our commitment to pioneering innovation in the crypto space and ensuring broader access to the growing crypto economy for both retail and institutional investors. The crypto market evolves fast, from ICO to IEO, to IDO. People fight for whitelists, staking opportunities, and early minting opportunities in inscription space. As a centralized exchange, we need to start building infrastructure for the next asset issuance trend. Just like how exchanges built launchpads in 2020, we need to build the infrastructure for Pre-market listing now, which we believe will see increased demand. How do you assess the interest from both retail and institutional investors? Interest from Retail and Institutional often goes hand in hand. Retail looks at institutional portfolios, and institutional looks at on-chain wallet numbers as a benchmark for retail popularity. We've observed significant interest from both retail and institutional investors in emerging protocols like EigenLayer. Retail investors are drawn to the potential for earning rewards by participating in new projects early on, while institutional players are increasingly recognizing the value of diversifying their portfolios with exposure to new and cutting-edge DeFi applications. Can you describe BIT Exchange's approach to identifying and launching new trading markets? What criteria do you use to determine which markets to enter? BIT Exchange adopts a proactive approach to identifying and launching new trading markets. We closely monitor market trends, engage with our user community to understand their preferences, and collaborate with leading projects to bring exciting opportunities to our platform. Our criteria for entering new markets are multifaceted, focusing on factors such as project innovation, market demand, user engagement, and regulatory compliance. We prioritize projects with strong fundamentals and the potential to drive meaningful value for our users. Are you bullish on EigenLayer? If so, why? We are indeed bullish on EigenLayer due to its groundbreaking approach to re-staking and enhancing network security within the Ethereum ecosystem. EigenLayer's ability to attract over $12 billion in total value locked demonstrates its traction and future potential for reshaping the DeFi landscape. Can you describe the decisions that led BIT to launch the EigenLayer Points (ELP) market? The decision to launch the EigenLayer Points (ELP) market aligns with our mission to provide early access to promising projects for our user base. By offering trading for ELP ahead of the token generation event, we enable our users to participate in the EigenLayer ecosystem early on. There are many pre-listing opportunities however we also need to identify trusted partners who are selling these points. It is a long due diligence process to investigate which are the popular points that are reliable and who would like to sell in the pre-market. Could you explain the significance of launching the EigenLayer Points market on BIT Exchange? What opportunities does this provide for early adopters? Opening the EigenLayer Points market on BIT Exchange is a big step forward. We're the first exchange to do it, showing we're leading the pack in making new crypto opportunities available to more people. This provides them with a head start in engaging with a promising protocol and potentially benefiting from its growth. What are some operational challenges involved in being the first centralized exchange to offer a new product like EigenLayer Points? Being the first centralized exchange to offer a product like EigenLayer Points comes with operational challenges such as ensuring reliable security measures and sufficient liquidity, keeping trading fees at competitive levels, and educating users about the new market. However, we are committed to overcoming these challenges to provide a seamless trading experience for our users. With the upcoming EigenLayer airdrop being highly anticipated, how is BIT preparing to support its users through this event? As the EigenLayer airdrop approaches, BIT Exchange is actively preparing to support our users through this event by providing relevant information, facilitating trading, and ensuring the smooth distribution of airdropped tokens to eligible holders. It is mostly bookkeeping work, when the token is airdropped, we need to understand the airdrop rules, and conversion rate. The token would be in the Exchange wallet and then distributed to users’ accounts according to their points portfolio. Can you discuss any recent upgrades or innovations in BIT’s trading platform that have been particularly impactful? Recently, BIT Exchange has made significant upgrades to our trading platform, particularly in the BRC-20 sector. We've empowered our users with the ability to drive new BRC-20 listings through organic community in-app votes, building a more inclusive and community-driven environment. Are there any industry trends or technologies that BIT is particularly focused on to stay ahead of the competition? We're also focused on staying ahead of the competition by embracing more crypto-native features such as staking. Back in Feb 2024, we began offering staking services for projects like Merlin Chain, for example, enabling our users to participate in that particular airdrop while earning rewards and contributing to the growth of the Merlin ecosystem. Looking ahead, what new types of tokens is BIT Exchange considering? Looking ahead, BIT Exchange is considering listing new types of tokens with a strong focus on our community-led approach. We listen to our users and give them a say in what gets listed on our platform. This way, we ensure that we're offering assets that truly resonate with our community's interests. I'm speaking with LAN, the Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of BIT Exchange. Today, we delve into their personal blockchain journey and explore the strategic decisions behind introducing new trading markets and innovating and adapting to stay ahead in the rapidly changing crypto space. Please tell us about yourself and what you do at BIT Exchange Please tell us about yourself and what you do at BIT Exchange I’m the Co-founder & Chief Operating Officer at BIT and have previously worked at Bitmain and Matrixport. I joined Bitmain in 2018. When Bitmain launched Matrixport in 2019, I joined Matrixport as part of the founding team. I served as the product leader of the trading department, where I helped design the first structured digital currency product for dual-currency wealth management. Matrixport initiated BIT in November 2019 and launched it in August 2020. As a co-founder of BIT, I now lead its strategic direction, encompassing business growth, product development, and operations. Can you explain the decision-making process that led BIT Exchange to introduce new trading markets? Can you explain the decision-making process that led BIT Exchange to introduce new trading markets? BIT Exchange is constantly exploring opportunities to expand our offerings and provide diverse investment options for our users. Our decision to introduce new trading markets, such as the one for EigenLayer Points (ELP), comes from our commitment to pioneering innovation in the crypto space and ensuring broader access to the growing crypto economy for both retail and institutional investors. The crypto market evolves fast, from ICO to IEO, to IDO. People fight for whitelists, staking opportunities, and early minting opportunities in inscription space. As a centralized exchange, we need to start building infrastructure for the next asset issuance trend. Just like how exchanges built launchpads in 2020, we need to build the infrastructure for Pre-market listing now, which we believe will see increased demand. How do you assess the interest from both retail and institutional investors? How do you assess the interest from both retail and institutional investors? Interest from Retail and Institutional often goes hand in hand. Retail looks at institutional portfolios, and institutional looks at on-chain wallet numbers as a benchmark for retail popularity. We've observed significant interest from both retail and institutional investors in emerging protocols like EigenLayer. Retail investors are drawn to the potential for earning rewards by participating in new projects early on, while institutional players are increasingly recognizing the value of diversifying their portfolios with exposure to new and cutting-edge DeFi applications.

Empathizing with your customers is the first step in creating a successful e-commerce user experience (UX). In our case, we consider the role of empathy in the context of e-commerce in a narrower niche – baby carrier for newborn children. Baby K'tan is a solution that will help parents be closer to their children during the first years of their lives. Baby wearing allows caregivers to keep the baby close and safe while keeping both hands free. Focusing on the target audience and adhering to the authenticity of the Baby K'tan brand, the updated regional online store helps parents focus on what is most important to them - the safety and benefits for the child, while reducing the time spent searching for goods and choosing it. A particular challenge for in this case is maximum responsibility, since we are talking about the health of a newborn child and his mother. We know that during the postpartum period, all the mother's attention is focused only on the child. And this fragile balance must not be disturbed. The goal was to make navigation as simple as possible. And at the same time, maintain consistency in presenting relevant information throughout the user journey. The complexity of the product lies in the need to accompany it with a large amount of information describing its properties and confirming its reliability. At the stage of initial communication and further testing with a focus group, it was possible to divide this information into three levels of importance and develop a system for its presentation. At the initial stages of developing the project concept, there was a low point due to the difficulty of combining two goals: important information should be transmitted to the user quickly and easily accessible, but without losing the quality of the information and important aspects. The key was empathy and immersion in the lifestyle and needs of modern parents after the birth of a child. After prototype testing when we saw that this puzzle finally came together, there were emotions that can be compared to an “aha! moment.” To make the most empathic UX design, you need to try to understand in what conditions, at what time and under what circumstances your user will interact with your design. The main users are mothers who are preparing for the birth of a child and mothers of newborn babies and are looking for devices to ease the postpartum period. The main problem she faces is the lack of time that she can spend studying the issue and the solution should be easy and obvious The main task is to emphasize expert opinion. The period after birth is extremely important to all mothers, it is full of vivid emotions, tender moments. We understand that our goal is to help focus on these moments. Anxiety and daily routine can be very distracting. Focusing on the target audience and relying on the brand identity of Baby K'TAN, i have developed an online store redesign for the regional branch. The research was conducted in several stages and for each a target focus group was assembled – women preparing to become mothers (45%), mothers with children aged 1-2 years (45%) and fathers. We believe this proportion most accurately reflects the user. Based on the Baby K’Tan data, in addition to working with the focus group, the main principles of the design concept were highlighted: minimalism, gender neutrality, maximum ease of navigation and simple but relevant animation of element. What is the essence of the product or service? What are the core benefits for the target group? Your little one depends on you for everything, and at times this can feel overwhelming. But for the last nine months, you were her whole world, and in a few short years, she’ll want down instead of “up, up!” The truth is, for right now just the beat of your heart under hers is enough. Relish it while you can with an intuitive carrier that wraps her up tightly, close against you. The user journey begins with the moment the purchase decision is made and ends with the moment when the mother can truly say that her hands are free and her child is comfortable. The essence of the project is that the process of choosing a carrier, selecting the right size, understanding how to use it correctly, it is quite complicated, because we are talking about the health of the child. The difficulty also lies in the fact that users (mothers) are faced with one of the most serious changes in their lives, which also affects them at different levels. In this regard, it was decided to move in the direction of simplifying navigation as much as possible. Also, according to our research, mothers who decide to purchase a baby carrier after the birth of their child often conduct their research at night, when the child is already sleeping and this is the only time free for them for tasks of this kind. In this regard, a color concept was developed so as not to increase the load on the girl’s tired body. In conclusion I can said that heartfelt approach as important as data and metrics. While technological prowess and design innovation remain integral, it is the sincere approach that truly resonates with users.

Empathy in UX Design for E-commerce

(AI) has emerged as a game-changer in many industries. Predictive AI technology has helped reshape age-old processes, saving organizations time, money, and frustration. A litany of different organizations have leveraged AI solutions to streamline their operations and ultimately drive productivity, changing industries ranging from art to finance. Artificial intelligence While some have bemoaned the rise of AI, wringing their hands over a possible AI takeover, others have recognized the power of machine learning, algorithms, and computer vision to transform their jobs and allow them to get back to the innovating that truly moves the needle towards progress. AI for Boosting Productivity AI has proven to be a boon for productivity within many organizations. By automating repetitive tasks and allowing employees to focus on the parts of their jobs that carry higher value, AI paves the way for more creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. “By analyzing trends in task completion times and quality and assigning specific team members based on past performance and partnerships, AI encourages a culture of recognition and motivation,” says Brianna Van Zanten, Customer Success Manager at InCheq. “When workers' achievements are acknowledged through data-driven insights, it provides a tangible record of their individualistic abilities.” With more workers taking heed of the message of the Great Resignation and seeking work that is personally and professionally rewarding, utilizing AI to create a better work culture can help companies with talent retention and employee satisfaction, not to mention productivity. With actionable insights from performance data, AI can not only make the workplace better for the employees but also significantly improve the overall performance of the organization as a whole. AI for Content Creation With the rise of AI, many in creative fields have feared that predictive AI creations signal the end of human creativity. However, several organizations have learned to use AI not only to help them be more productive but also to give them the space they need to be more creative. “As a podcast host, I can attest to AI's transformative potential for the podcasting industry,” explains Heidi Moore, host of Wine Crush Podcast. “When we integrate AI into existing podcast workflows, it's not merely an additive process — it’s a paradigm shift. The capability of AI to sift through vast datasets allows it to predict and generate engaging topics that resonate deeply with the audience's preferences and current trends. This predictive prowess is instrumental in crafting content strategies that captivate listeners and foster a loyal audience base.” By automating the routines that take away from the creative process, creative entrepreneurs and leaders can focus more on experimenting and enjoying the fun parts of working within a creative space. If they view AI as a collaborative partner in their creative work rather than a hindrance, they may come by a more efficient process. AI for the Supply Chain As we saw laid bare during the pandemic, the efficiency and health of the global supply chain are critical for business. The introduction of AI has allowed those in the supply chain space to optimize traditional processes and explore technology-informed ways of making things run smoothly worldwide. “AI and RFID technology can be pivotal in transforming supply chain operations, particularly in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of eco-friendly products,” says Joseph Schlossberg, VP of Global Sales at Sourcing Solutions International. “By integrating RFID's real-time tracking capabilities with AI's analytical prowess, we could significantly streamline supply chain processes, ensuring accurate inventory management and reducing unnecessary waste. This synergy is vital for adapting to rapid market changes and managing resources more effectively.” AI use within the supply chain significantly impacts the recent push for sustainability. “By evaluating extensive data on lifecycle impacts, supply chain practices, and product usage, AI facilitates more sustainable decision-making and innovation,” Schlossberg explains. “It helps us improve product design and predicts the environmental impact of materials and processes that we use.” AI in Finance AI also has a significant role to play in an industry like finance, where accuracy is paramount. “As more and more financial advisors embrace advancements in technology, AI continues to play a larger role,” says Aaron Cirksena of MDRN Capital. With the power to analyze vast data sets and uncover valuable insights for investors, AI can unlock new opportunities within the complex world of finance. “We can use AI in a multitude of ways, whether it is used to manage investments, give predictive AI-driven recommendations, or assist advisors in the day-to-day operations of their firms,” Cirksena notes. “Additionally, more advisors are embracing AI for client communication and assisting them with finding new lead sources.” Financial entities that embrace these technologies within the financial space stand to gain an advantage over those competitors who choose not to evolve or even bend with the changing times. As AI becomes more a part of everyday life, more investors and everyday banking consumers will come to expect the value and efficiency that AI can bring, gravitating towards those organizations that can offer it. AI automation has left its fingerprints in nearly every industry. As we head into the future, the potential for AI in areas from healthcare to the arts promises to reshape the way we work, produce, and innovate. Lead image source
