Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to redefine industries, fostering efficiency, creativity, and profitability. As 2024 demonstrated, AI is no longer just a futuristic tool — it’s an essential driver of business transformation.

However, the lingering questions remain:

  • Will AI eventually replace traditional business processes?
  • What role will humans play in this evolving landscape?
