Dramatic? , yeah.

So what is AI?

Definition

Artificial Intelligence (popularly known as AI) is a concept that aims to give machines human like perception. It is a technology that focuses on giving machines the ability to communicate and 'think' like humans, and sometimes even better.

How does this work?

Machines are trained on data gotten from human observations and are programmed to 'understand' the situation and apply this knowledge in order to do the same thing under similar conditions.

'why should you care?'

Applications of AI

Unlike majority of people think, AI isn't only applicable to the field of robotics.

AI is used in other sectors such as the healthcare, educational, business and finance sector to improve various processes and day to day interactions.

This happens in different forms from the implementation of chatbots, app filters, mobile assistants to the invention of self driving cars and medical robotics.

So, AI is already deeply integrated into our daily lives.
