"We’ve reached a point now where AI has evolved to become a companion – it’s knowing intuitively what you need, and when. It’s lightening your load so you can focus on the things that matter, at your own pace.
“In many ways, it’s becoming a pocket personal assistant for people, helping you manage your to-do lists.
“The speed at which it’s changing how we live is astonishing. We’re a year into Galaxy AI and it’s rolling out nearly up to eight times faster than the internet when it first launched in Britain – which is something we all use every day.”
