Franklin was addressing the economic value of time, a concept increasingly relevant when discussing AI\u2019s impact on business today. AI is adept at processing and analyzing troves of data much faster than a human brain\u2014enabling quicker, more informed decision-making. Leaders who embrace AI now and take action to understand it, experiment with it, and envision how it can solve hard problems are going to run companies that thrive in an AI world.<sup>1<\/sup> From
