How does one stay abreast of all that is happening in the Generative AI space? Speaking to the challenge, Larry Bridgesmith talks about the daily challenge.  To illustrate the point, consider this news: a vendor reports that it is now possible for one AI to completely execute, sign and transmit an agreement with another AI...no humans involved!
