Authors note:
This will be the last AI roundup of 2021. The Plainsight team will be taking some time off for the holidays, but we’ll return to our weekly posting in the first week of the new year with a lot more AI content.
Since it’s a short week and a slower time for industry news I’ve included some of my top highlights from the last year.
Some of My Top 2021 AI Highlights:
