Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to laboratories or science fiction. It has seamlessly integrated into our daily routines, often without us even realizing it.
Detailed Explanation
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transitioned from theoretical concepts in science fiction and laboratory settings to practical applications in our everyday lives. This change means that many people interact with AI technology without being conscious of it. For example, when you unlock your smartphone with your face or use a navigation app that suggests the fastest route, you are using AI technology in a very real, everyday context.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine living in a world where every action you take is optimized by invisible helpers. Like having a smart assistant arranging your day seamlessly. You simply get into your car and start driving; the AI navigation system is already working behind the scenes to find the best route, saving you time and energy, just as a reliable friend would.
