First, it was deemed as a threat to education itself...but now, AI's becoming a classroom hot topic. Still, Professors like Annette Vee are torn between full-on bans or supervised use.

The main gripe about ChatGPT is its ability aid in cheating. Yet, professors like Don Maue embrace AI, using it to enhance learning. He even holds “Socrates-style” chats with ChatGPT during class!

Maue's main goal is to prepare students for an AI-driven workforce. Case in point, colleges like Penn State now offer AI-specific academic policies.

So what's the secret to making AI work in schools? Vee's stance is that clarity's key. In other words, students should know when AI help is encouraged versus when it should be avoided.

These days, AI is expected to fix almost any industry that you can think of. Well, what about the trade industry itself?

ChatGPT and its AI counterparts might just solve this global trade jam, worth around $32T.

During the pandemic, while other sectors digitized, trade lagged behind. Now, AI is bridging that gap.

Everstream Analytics' CEO Julie Gerdeman sees AI fine-tuning supply chains. Additionally, firms like ImportGenius are using machine learning to streamline trade. Another example includes Mercedes-Benz using AI to adapt to supply chain hiccups.

However, there's a cautionary note: AI has its limits. It can't replace human touch in various areas like negotiations. Hence, companies and institutions alike will have to thread the needle successfully to make this transition work.
