AI is rapidly becoming a prominent topic in workspaces, political views, and schools as we enter 2025. New ideas, inventions, and stories have led people in our country to have a split opinion about AI, but with all the information about AI at the click of a button there is no reason that anyone should be wondering about the capabilities of artificial intelligence in our country. The small group of engineers, entrepreneurs, and other technology driven jobs are always trying to grow, enhance, and find new ways to use AI. Meanwhile, the less informed part of our country is under the perception that AI is going to end up “taking our jobs.” This idea has mainly been the cause of worries about AI in our future. There must be something that the technology experts must know that causes them not to be bothered about the hypothetical AI-controlled world that modern sci-fi movies and Facebook comment sections have persuaded millions of Americans to believe will come true. It doesn't take a master degree from MIT or years in the tech field to understand their “secret.”
