I’ll admit that I get pretty uneasy about the capabilities of artificial intelligence sometimes, but in the area of healthcare, I’m all in.

If you want to find a time to meet with someone, you just copy a “person” named Amy (or Andrew), and the artificial intelligence tool goes back and forth with your colleague or colleagues to find a time to meet.… Get the scoop...
People who place ads on Facebook know that they can upload a database of names to put their ads directly in front of their contacts. I was going to try it to advertise my book to my followers, but because I have mostly business emails in my newsletter database, I figured that I wouldn’t be able to hook up the business email addresses with the personal ones you guys likely use on social media sites.… Get the scoop...
