It isn’t an easy read either so at times I found myself reading certain sections a couple of times to understand the complex concepts. It is a critical read because essentially it is about how we…

    Photo by James Pond on Unsplash I have been talking a lot lately about robotics and AI. It comes up in almost every discussion when you are talking about work performance and productivity.
