Quote from the show:

"2023 was the wake-up call for realizing new technology's immense potential, and as we transition pilot programs to production systems in 2024, we’ll start seeing real, tangible outcomes by 2025. The application layer of AI isn’t just a technological enhancement; it’s poised to become a multi-trillion-dollar market, revolutionizing capabilities and creating workflows that weren't even conceivable before." - David Marra
