How important is AI in Silicon Valley? All delegation visitors in recent weeks quickly discovered that this technology is currently dominating discussions.

Driving from the Bay Bridge down to Marsh Road yesterday, I photographed all the billboards along the 101. Out of 51 billboards, only 4 to 5 were not KI. Here are the impressions:

These billboards along Highway 101 are one of the attractions I always point out to my delegation members. Because they are a direct sign of the current technological pulse in the innovation capital of the world.
