Admin’s Note

The recent acquisition proposal for Parplexy is significant news when considering the evolution of AI technology and its impact. Notably, the fact that a giant company like Google is a potential buyer could shift the balance of power across the entire IT industry. While there are voices, like Chaco’s, expressing optimism about the advancements in AI, there are also those who harbor concerns. I look forward to observing how these changes will affect our lives in the future.
