The advent of generative AI, a new general purpose technology, marks a revolution across all industries, being a step-change in performance and productivity. This paradigm shift transforms interaction models from rigid command-based systems to fluid, intent-driven dialogues. As we speak, AI evolves from models that predict, classify, or answer questions to dynamic agents, being an extension and enhancement of our human capabilities. This is laying the groundwork for a new epoch in computing, affecting us in our private lives, our education, at work, in collaboration with others, and not the least how we will consume products and services in the future.
