IDC predicts that generative AI investments will grow by nearly tenfold over the next 4 years; a new study shows little correlation between where you studied or worked and your ability to start an unicorn; McKinsey breaks down the questions that the best CEOs know to ask and solve for.
These are some of the topics we’re going to cover in this week’s carcast.
