AI for Improvements in Security, Features
While AI is broad and may be applied to various things, one of the rampant applications of the technology is towards scams or victimizing people all over the internet. However, many developments are using AI now which aims to help the world, including its massive use to help speed up medical research to create new drugs or treatments for uncurable diseases.
AI's debut in the world centered on the massive generative features of OpenAI which offered a way to create writeups using simple prompts and commands. However, while this led to many cheating incidents, Google is now working to make AI more acceptable as a tool for educators and students alike, harnessing its power to boost learning in different aspects.
Massive developments towards using artificial intelligence's power for the good are on their way, looking to help people in various applications with improved technology.
