Goldman Sachs estimates 300 million jobs could be lost or diminished by this fast-growing technology. Yes AI.

You cannot ignore AI. Try as hard as you like to bury your head in the sand. As the Luddites did back in the early days of the industrial revolution. People have ignored the invention of cars, they have even thought that computers and the internet were a waste of time. Do not be one of those people. Plan, think, dream. Visualise, make notes, visualise more. Then formulate your plan to succeed.

If you are not convinced you need to take AI seriously I strongly advise you to look at the inographic below. The key statistics are eye opening.
