If you’re chronically online or often traveling like me, you may have seen one of the robots that are now staffing airports and restaurants, carrying your suitcases, and delivering your food. With the surge in AI, from Google’s AI overview to Chat GPT, artificial intelligence is the new frontier, and who knows where it might lead to next.
