Does anyone remember Deep Blue? The IBM supercomputer that beat world champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game chess match in 1996? That was a “wow” moment for me and one of the first examples of how powerful and effective artificial intelligence (AI) could be. 

Here we are in 2024, and AI has permeated all aspects of our lives. When you rent a horror movie on Amazon Prime Video, you start seeing a “Movies We Think You’ll Like” section suggesting other horror-related flicks. That’s AI working invisibly in the background. When you click on a cooking video on Instagram and start seeing more cooking videos as “Suggested Reels” in your feed, that’s AI. When Google Photos assembles the latest snaps from your family vacation into a video, titles it “Trip to South Carolina” and adds background music, that’s AI.
