Ai is the new buzzword. Here’s why it’ll be stickier than NTFS and crypto combined and how to tell if it’s real AI or automation in disguise

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the new buzzword that is taking the technology world by storm. It seems like every company is touting its AI capabilities, and every new startup is using AI to disrupt traditional industries. But what exactly is AI, and why is it so much more important than some of the other recent trends like NFTs or crypto?

What is AI?

At its core, AI is the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as perception, decision-making, and language translation. These machines can learn and improve over time, using algorithms and data to adapt to new situations and make better decisions.

So why is AI so much more important and stickier? For one, AI has the potential to revolutionize almost every industry, from healthcare to finance to transportation. It can help doctors diagnose diseases more accurately, reduce fraud in financial transactions, and even drive our cars for us. Unlike other trends and hypes which are easily replaced by newer and better technology over time, AI has the ability to continually improve and evolve, meaning that it will only become more important over time.

Compared to NFTs and Crypto, AI has a much broader range of applications.

NFTs are a digital assets that can be bought and sold. Despite its hype, application is primarily limited to art, entertainment, media, content, and asset ownership and tracking.

NFTs closely related brother is Crypto (as they’re both built upon the foundation of the blockchain principle). Is primarily used for secure communication and transactions.

AI can be applied to almost any problem that requires intelligent decision-making. This means that AI has the potential to create entirely new industries, as well as transform existing ones.

AI or Automation?

However, not all AI is created equal. With all the hype around AI, many companies are using the term to describe technologies that are really just automation in disguise. So how can you tell if it’s real AI or just automation?

One way is to look at whether the technology can learn and improve over time. If it’s just performing a set of pre-programmed actions, then it’s likely not true AI. Additionally, true AI should be able to handle complex and unpredictable situations, rather than just following a set of rules.
