Great Weekly Resource: “AI Leadership Minute” by William Grube

Many of you are familiar with William Grube, and for those who are not, I highly recommend subscribing to his weekly emails. He is on top of all things AI and the content of the resources he provides is consistently relevant to the work you do.
