This is John Batchel, a conversation with colleague Gene Marks about artificial intelligence, AI.

It comes to this. S&P 500 companies are embracing AI because of productivity. I embraced AI because of

productivity. It moves things along. It saves me at least an hour, maybe more. It gives me confidence in

There's a lot of doubt around that too.

And, you know, again, if you talk to some of the companies that are implementing AI,

they're doing it because it's increasing productivity for their workforce. And that's really
