AI is Everywhere!

You probably use AI every single day without even realising it! AI stands for Artificial Intelligence - basically, it's when computers learn to do clever things.

When YouTube recommends a video you might like, that's AI! When your phone unlocks with your face, that's AI too!

AI isn't like the robots in movies. It's more like a really smart tool. It can't think or feel - it just spots patterns in data and uses those patterns to help us.

AI is great at specific tasks: recognising pictures, translating languages, playing chess. But it can't do everything a human can!

💡 Examples

YouTube:AI recommends videos based on what you've watched before
Siri/Alexa:AI understands your voice and finds answers
Spelling check:AI spots your typos and suggests corrections
