Do you know that artificial intelligence is everywhere around—on your smartphone, in automobiles, hospitals, and many other aspects of your life? Artificial intelligence records and analyzes things you do every day, and humans make decisions based on those things.
Artificial intelligence:
- Recommends merchandise you might like to buy on the internet
- Alerts you if your smartwatch or fitness band detects low oxygen in your bloodstream, inflammation, or an unhealthy spike in blood sugar
- Scans your social media posts to learn more about what you are thinking
- Helps banks invest money in your family’s bank accounts to keep the economy around you growing
