“LIKE HIRING AN INTERN”

The data shows that AI has effortlessly become part of our everyday lives

FROM PLANNING A garden to organizing a meal…making a playlist to designing a gift…writing an office memo to composing a wedding speech…skimming a reading list to sorting through massive photo archives—these days, AI is being used in all sorts of ways to make people’s personal lives easier.
