Mountain out of an Anthill: The rumour mill is buzzing about an Ant Financial private share sale and maybe an IPO...if the Chinese gubment ever lets them do one.

 

Judgment:. McKinsey digs into the role of AI in the future of corporate decision-making. This is an interesting thought exercise and worth a read.
