by Megan Barton, publisher, Cody Enterprise Everywhere we look it seems we’re at the mercy of AI. It is present in everyday life, and some might argue that it’s changed our daily routines for the better. Sure, there are certain circumstances in which AI can benefit you.

Just today, I was about to run to the store, but thought about something I wanted to do beforehand. Then I rinsed out my coffee cup and my mind had already moved onto a whole new topic and I’d forgotten what task, exactly, I needed to do...
