We’ve become accustomed to using artificial intelligence (AI) for home, work, and play – from digital voice assistants, algorithms that personalize our news and entertainment, smart home appliances, wearable health devices, learning platforms, and productivity tools.
With new advancements in AI happening faster than before, you might be wondering what all this means for you.
AI might seem confusing or intimidating, but it's actually already part of our lives and has been for some time. The recent wave of announcements about AI developments across industries can seem both overwhelming and exciting. We're seeing AI capabilities that will drastically improve our way of working, creating, and learning new skills. Consider AI as your personal collaborator who can take on those time-consuming and tedious tasks, freeing you up to do the things that matter most.
AI at Work
AI is like a helpful assistant that can help us work or complete tasks more efficiently and strategically. At a time when we're inundated with information overload, it can be hard to identify exactly what you need to know or what is useful to accomplish a specific task. Although we have access to powerful productivity tools, we may end up using only a fraction of their capabilities.
