Artificial intelligence has shaken the windows and rattled the walls of nearly every business, government and institution since it exploded into mainstream consciousness following the launch of Chat-GPT less than two years ago. 

Boosters see AI ushering in a new “industrial revolution” led by thinking computers that can reason, plan, and apply knowledge to a dizzying array of industries.
