For context, that\u2019s faster uptake than YouTube, Facebook, Google, or even the internet itself saw in their early years. ChatGPT alone hit 100 million users in a single month. For comparison, Google took nearly six years to reach that mark. The pace is breathtaking, and as someone who\u2019s worked in AI at Google, Indeed, and now Lightspeed, I can tell you: this is truly unprecedented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, Donal McMahon here, Chief AI Officer at Lightspeed Systems.
