Apple CEO explains why the company prioritizes practical AI over hype
Apple's new CEO made a clear choice: practical AI over the hype cycle. In defending the company's current position, they argued that usefulness matters more than being first. That's a refreshing stance in a market obsessed with flashy demos. It aligns with a deeper truth we explore in "When Evidence Shifts, Do Your Spreadsheets Know How to Adapt", real-world adaptability beats any headline. Focus on what actually works.

Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock, stood before the TechCrunch Disrupt crowd and argued that his company's surveillance technology is worth the privacy risks.
