Generative AI (GenAI) is likely the most significant technological breakthrough of the decade, yet the impacts are hard to quantify. Even detailed studies produce contradictory data, and while the evidence suggests a handful of hours saved per worker per week,1 there’s no clear correlation to revenue. How can we definitively say whether GenAI is worth

Adversarial AI: From Theoretical Threat to Real-World Menace
