Why Generative AI Mastery Now?

AI isn’t a future concept—it’s a present advantage. Companies that integrate it strategically are outperforming those who don’t. According to recent McKinsey research:

“Leaders using AI in business operations report cost reductions of up to 30% and revenue gains of 10–20% within the first year.”
