While artificial intelligence promises unprecedented efficiency, some professions require a human touch that no algorithm can replicate. We sat down with a family coach to explore the critical boundary between administrative support and true connection.
Welcome back to Pulse Check, our ongoing series of candid conversations with the real people in our community facing the tidal wave of AI disruption, opportunity, and risk.
