Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a term you must be hearing everyday. From chatbots like ChatGPT to coding agents like Claude Code. But what is AI? AI has existed for decades. Artificial intelligence refers to the capability of computers to perform complex tasks, usually handled by humans – think data processing, and analysis.

However, in the past few years, AI has transformed, with the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as Google Gemini. These LLMs can do a lot more than what AI did even a decade ago. From homework, assignments to even generating videos, and writing code. AI is everywhere now, and it is getting better too. To the extent that even companies are now relying heavily on AI tools for their tasks.

AI tools can not only help you be more productive, but sometimes, may be even better than you at doing certain tasks. That is not to say that AI is taking over, not yet anyway. Humans still remain the ones who bring new ideas and creativity, while AI can help us delegate our mundane everyday tasks.
