So, what is everyday Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
AI is Already in Your Life—Here’s Why That’s a Good Thing
If you think AI is some futuristic robot coming to take jobs, think again. The truth is, you’re already using AI every single day—without even realizing it!
Ever noticed how Netflix seems to magically know what show you’ll love next? That’s AI. When Amazon suggests products or Google Maps finds the fastest route home? AI is working behind the scenes. Even your email spam filter is powered by AI, keeping junk mail out of your inbox.
AI Isn’t Here to Replace You—It’s Here to Assist You
A lot of people worry that AI will take over jobs, but the reality is different. AI is a tool—just like a calculator or a search engine. It handles repetitive tasks, analyzes data, and generates insights, allowing you to focus on creativity, problem-solving, and innovation.
Think about it: AI can help draft an email, summarize a report, or even create a presentation—but it still needs your input, critical thinking, and expertise. The people who learn to use AI will have an edge, not be left behind.
