The conversation about AI is everywhere.
Testing folks have a part to play in the debate and the evolution of AI. Bill Matthews shared some thoughts on this topic back in 2016 and he created a tester's guide to testing AI applications. I'm keen to hear your thoughts about it (send me an email) or add to the conversations happening on all the various platforms out there. Why not post your thoughts about AI on The Club?
