But you need to be ready for both. Army of Liars does an excellent job of preparing you for where we are and whatâs still to come in the rapidly emerging field of Artificial Intelligence.

Those were the times of the past and the AI-powered digital era has changed the battlefield against misinformation. Andrew V.
