Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword. It's the driving force behind some of the most innovative solutions in industries like healthcare, finance, and even retail. According to a PwC report, AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. That's not pocket change, folks.
But here's the thing: AI isn't just for the big players anymore. Thanks to initiatives like Google's AI First Accelerator, even small startups can harness the power of AI to scale faster, offer personalized services, and tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges. So, what exactly is this program, and how can it help your startup?
