Good afternoon,

Welcome to your twice-weekly look at how generative AI is transforming the way we live, work and play plus the latest news and analysis.

Which generation will AI have the most impact on in the workplace?

It could be Baby Boomers if new EY data is to be believed, with the Big Four consulting firm finding Gen Z were picking up how to use AI at more than double the rate of their older counterparts and colleagues – and it's beginning to influence how companies roll out AI.

Better late than never? Apple has finally entered the artificial intelligence race with something tangible that places the US tech behemoth in direct competition with some of the world’s biggest companies.

But Elon Musk isn’t happy. In fact, he’s threatened to ban the use of Apple devices at his company, and would go as far as locking the Apple devices of visitors away in a cupboard.

And lastly, are all the AI jobs already taken? Just one in 588 job listings require AI skills, according to new analysis.

Let me know what you think lynchj@theaustralian.com.au
