Happy Monday!
Even though we're just getting back into the swing of things after the holiday break, last week was packed with exciting AI news, making it feel like we never took a pause. CES in Las Vegas showcased some amazing AI gadgets, and Sam Altman dropped a hint that we might witness AGI this year in 2025. I can't shake the feeling that 2025 is going to be a year of incredible technological change for our society.

“Cliff's AI course opened my eyes to different ways to integrate AI into my life. His approach to prompt engineering with the ASPECT framework gave me a repeatable process for crafting effective prompts. I was amazed by the variety of real-life AI tools he introduced - many I'd never heard of before. His relatable examples made complex concepts accessible and immediately applicable to my work.”
Enjoy!
