But, apart from my favourite movie reference, AI is one of the most talked about and hotly debated issues of this digital age. With all the debates on whether AI is good or bad, one thing is for certain that AI is here, and it is here to stay.

Five years of post-pandemic fashion
It has been five years since we discovered what Covid-19 was, and five years since it disrupted the world forever. The World Health Organization activated their emergency systems on January 1, 2020, and informed the world by January 4, 2020. By the end of that week, they had set guidelines for various countries to follow. Comparable to the Spanish flu of 1918, more than 7 million people have died of Covid according to official data.
