Which trends will impact entrepreneurs?

AI is especially good at taking over repetitive tasks like administration, customer contact, and other daily tasks. Personalization is becoming more important too. With AI, marketing becomes more personal, for example, with tools that allow customers to see how a product fits into their home. AI generates the right ambiance images automatically and ensures you can reach the right people more efficiëntly.
