tions. “AI learns from the corrections an individual makes to their prompts, and with repeated iterations does a bet- ter job of providing productive results,” said Karasin. “At the same time, the human operator learns how to fashion prompts that bring productive responses.” While the AI learning curve may seem daunting, it’s wise for every business to get an early start, even at a basic level. “Managers need to become aware of how AI works, and how it can be used as a force multiplier for business capabilities,” said Maymar. “Everyone is going to be using AI pretty soon, and you don’t want to be the one left behind. The best thing to do is to ride the wave now instead of being buried in the crest as it goes over.”

DS Smith Donates Boxes To Support Children's Summer Nutrition Program Atlanta, Georgia based DS Smith announced its partner- ship with nonprofit food pantry Chatham Outreach Alliance (CORA) of Pittsboro, North Carolina, to help address the food insecurity schoolchildren face during summer break. The DS Smith North America Packaging and Paper (NAPP) plant in nearby Holly Springs is producing and donating 5,000 boxes for packaging and delivering food donations to families over the summer. CORA’s SNACK! (Summer Nutritional Assistance for Chatham Kids) distrib- utes food to approximately 1,400 kids who depend upon free or reduced-cost meals at school during the school year but have little or no replacement for this when school is not in session. “Our SNACK! Program was originally established as a farmer’s market-style service for families to select food from the pantry we provide, but during the pandemic we were forced to switch to providing boxes that our volun- teers fill and deliver curbside to families,” said Rebecca Hankins, Development and Communications Director, CORA. The organization has continued using boxes for distribution because of the convenience curbside distribu- tion offers for families. “We hope this can make a difference to those relying on the Summer Nutritional Assistance for Chatham Kids program,” said Bryce Deblasi, Holly Springs Plant Manag- er, DS Smith NAPP. “Our sites play an active role in their communities, and we seek to represent the communities and customers we serve.” For more information, visit dssmith.com .
