செயற்கை நுண்ணறிவு என்பது ஏதோ எதிர்காலத்தைப் பற்றிய விஷயம் போலத் தோன்றலாம்—ரோபோக்கள், தானாக இயங்கும் கார்கள் அல்லது மனிதனைப் போலவே சிந்திக்கும் இயந்திரங்கள் என நாம் கற்பனை செய்யலாம். ஆனால், உண்மையில் AI ஏற்கனவே நமது அன்றாட வாழ்க்கையின் ஒரு அங்கமாகிவிட்டது. 

நாம் காலையில் விழித்தது முதல் இரவு உறங்கச் செல்லும் வரை, நமக்குத் தெரியாமலேயே பின்னணியில் இருந்து இது பல வேலைகளைச் செய்கிறது.

AI என்பது நம் வேலையை எளிதாக்கி, வாழ்க்கையை மேம்படுத்தும் ஒரு நவீன நண்பனாக மாறி நிற்கிறது. இதுகுறித்து நம்முடைய டாக்டர் எஸ். கல்யாணி அழகான கட்டுரையை வடித்துள்ளார். படியுங்கள்..

Artificial Intelligence (AI) often sounds like something from the future—robots, self-driving cars, or machines that think like humans. In reality, AI is already part of our everyday lives. It works quietly in the background, helping us from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep at night.

Whether we notice it or not, AI supports many of our daily activities. It helps us communicate, learn, travel, shop, work, and take care of our health.

Starting the Day with AI

For many people, the day begins with a smartphone alarm. Some phones adjust alarms based on sleep patterns. Weather apps tell us if it will rain. Traffic apps suggest the best route to reach work on time. Music apps recommend songs based on what we like.

All these services use AI. They study our habits and past choices and then make helpful suggestions. This makes daily life easier and more comfortable.

AI at Work and in Education

In workplaces, AI helps in simple but important ways. It filters spam emails, corrects spelling mistakes, schedules meetings, and even transcribes online discussions. Many customer support systems now use AI chatbots that can answer common questions at any time of the day.

In education, AI is making learning more flexible and accessible. Online learning platforms suggest lessons based on a student’s progress. Translation tools help people communicate across languages. AI-based learning tools allow students to learn subjects like mathematics, programming, or languages at their own pace.

AI does not replace teachers or professionals. Instead, it supports them by reducing routine tasks and giving them more time for creative and meaningful work.

Healthcare Made Smarter

AI is also improving healthcare. Mobile apps remind patients to take medicines on time. AI systems help doctors analyze medical images and detect diseases early. This improves accuracy and saves time.

In areas with limited healthcare facilities, AI supports telemedicine and remote health monitoring. With a smartphone and AI-based tools, patients can track health conditions and connect with doctors. This helps bring medical care closer to people who need it most.

Shopping, Banking, and Payments

When we shop online and see product suggestions, AI is working behind the scenes. It studies buying patterns to recommend useful products. Digital payment systems use AI to detect fraud and protect users.

Banks use AI chatbots to answer customer questions, process requests faster, and help people manage their finances. Small businesses also use AI tools for inventory management and customer engagement.

AI at Home

Smart home devices adjust lighting and temperature based on daily habits. Voice assistants help manage schedules and answer questions. Entertainment platforms recommend movies and news based on user interests.

These tools show a shift toward technology that adapts to human needs.

Using AI Responsibly

While AI offers many benefits, it also raises questions about data privacy, fairness, and job changes. Responsible use of AI requires ethical design, transparency, and digital awareness.

Artificial Intelligence supports people, does not replace them. It is already part of our everyday lives, quietly making daily tasks easier and opening new opportunities for the future.
