The Friendly Ghost in the Machine: What is AI Exactly?

Dec 18 / imAIish
At imAIish.com, we think of AI as a digital assistant. It helps your GPS find a path around traffic, and it helps your email filter out "junk" mail. It doesn't have feelings or a soul; it’s just very, very good at following instructions and predicting what you might need next. It’s here to take the "busy work" out of your day so you can focus on the things you love. 
Artificial Intelligence (AI) might sound like a scary movie, but it’s actually a very helpful tool. Imagine a computer that can learn things just like a person does. If you show a child 10 pictures of a cat, they learn what a cat looks like. AI works the same way! It looks at millions of pictures or words and learns to recognize patterns.

One of the best things about AI is that it is always getting better. Every time you correct a word on your smartphone or tell your TV you didn't like a movie recommendation, the AI learns a little bit more about your preferences. This means the technology actually molds itself to fit your life, rather than forcing you to change the way you do things.

Think of AI like the invention of the microwave or the dishwasher. At first, they seemed complicated and unnecessary, but soon they became everyday tools that saved people hours of work. AI is simply the next step in making our homes and devices work harder for us, giving us more time to spend with friends and family.
