    If by AI you mean LLMs and chatbot stacks? Not without a major breakthrough in either hardware or software architecture. In order to remain dubiously useful they need constant retraining as they contain no information between training start and the current date (there are ways to fiddle around this but it’s basically all just appending new things to a prompt and re-running).
