Hello and welcome to Eye on AI.
As everyone likes to point out, it is still early days for the generative AI revolution.

It also helps that most generative AI use cases complement Microsoft’s largely subscription-based business models rather than challenging them, as they do for Google’s ad-driven businesses. Microsoft’s stock price reflects this. Last week, the company edged past Apple to become the world’s most valuable public corporation, worth $2.875 trillion.
