“Being in the Age of AI keeps coming back to the big question that matters when we encounter AI: What can AI do for me, and what does it mean for my life? The answer is refreshingly human and practical. Its most powerful insight is personalization—when AI meets you where you are, it becomes less like technology and more like a partner. And because each person is unique, the benefits can be uniquely transformative.”
