IN THE KNOW:
The Sky’s the Limit
Onni Group is planning the two tallest buildings on Vancouver Island. Developer Onni Group plans for soaring highrises at its residential development on Sooke Road at Goldstream Avenue.

FROM THE CURRENT ISSUE OF DOUGLAS:
A Robot Wrote This Piece
In the latest issue of Douglas, we cover how technology affects your business, including
artificial intelligence. Here ChatGPT answers the question: “Will AI steal my job?”
“Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to automate certain tasks and make some

workers. Instead, it can complement and enhance their work, freeing up time for more
valuable tasks and improving productivity.”
