How the brain-friendly approach can help adopt Gen AI.

From a business perspective, Gen AI’s emerging technology offers exciting new possibilities. But as history has taught us, what is technically possible is not always desirable. Opportunities can quickly become challenges and adversities if handled incorrectly or with bad intentions.
