Of all the technological innovations since the birth of the Internet, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in a class by itself.

According to PwC’s Global Artificial Intelligence study, AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, as well as up to a 26% boost in GDP for local economies. Or as Chris Hyzy, Chief Investment Officer for Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank, puts it, “AI is going to transform the global economy as surely as electricity and the steam engine did in their own times.”
