The greatest technology in the world hasn’t replaced the ultimate relationship-building tool between a customer and a business: the human touch.

I came up with this quote and posted it on Twitter (now X) on September 1, 2013, nearly 13 years ago. AI (Artificial Intelligence), was a misunderstood concept, at least from the public’s point of view, mostly because it was only identified as something out of a science fiction movie.

Then along came OpenAI and ChatGPT. While companies had been integrating AI into their software solutions for years, ChatGPT made AI go mainstream. It’s almost impossible to go a day without hearing those initials, AI, or being exposed to something that was created or supported by AI. It really is life-changing, right up there with the wheel, the printing press, electricity, the phone, the internet and the microchip.

So, with that in mind, I thought it would be an interesting assignment to find out what business leaders and educators have been saying about AI. I “scoured the internet” and came up with a few good ones from some famous (and not so famous) people.
