AI: it’s everywhere

,

By: Husam Yaghi

Remember when AI was just something from sci-fi movies? Well, it’s here now, quietly making your life easier. It’s the reason your phone unlocks with your face, Netflix knows your next binge, and Gmail finishes your sentences before you do.

AI in Your Everyday Life

Think AI is just for scientists and billion-dollar companies? Think again. It’s already in your pocket, on your screen, and even in your car.

  • Face ID: Your phone knows it’s you.
  • Netflix & YouTube: They somehow always recommend something you’ll watch.
  • Gmail’s Smart Reply: Finishing your emails so you don’t have to.
  • Spotify & Apple Music: Building custom playlists like they know you better than your best friend.
  • Smart Cars: Parking assist, collision alerts—basically a digital co-pilot.

AI at Makes the Boring Stuff Disappear

AI isn’t here to steal your job—it’s here to make your job easier. It handles the repetitive stuff so you can focus on the important things.

  • Paperwork? AI’s got it. No one loves filling out forms—AI automates that.
  • Customer service? Handled. Chatbots answer common questions so humans can tackle real problems.
  • Predicting Problems? Yep. AI spots issues before they become disasters.
  • Scheduling? No more headaches. AI finds the best times for meetings (and won’t double-book you).

The Perks of AI

AI isn’t just about convenience—it’s making a difference in real ways.

  • Doctors catch diseases earlier with AI-powered diagnostics.
  • Teachers personalize lessons so students learn better.
  • Banks stop fraud faster than ever before.
  • Stores stock just the right amount—no more empty shelves or wasted goods.

But Hold On—There Are Some Challenges

AI isn’t perfect. There are some big questions we still need to answer.

  • Privacy: Who has access to your data?  
  • Fairness: Does AI treat everyone equally?
  • Jobs: How will AI change the workplace?
  • Trust: How do we make sure AI is reliable and unbiased?

How to Get Started

Think of AI as your digital assistant—it won’t replace you, but it will help you work smarter.

  • Try AI tools – Start small with something like ChatGPT.
  • Experiment – See how AI fits into your daily life.
  • Learn from others – What’s working for businesses and people like you?
  • Go slow – No need to go all-in overnight.

Real People, Real AI Success Stories

Let’s talk about some everyday folks using AI to make life easier.

🍳 Ola’s Coffee Shop: In Cyprus, Ola’s Coffee used AI to predict busy hours and order supplies at the right time. The result? Less waste, happy customers, and more time for herself.

  • Sane Yagi the Teacher: AI grades his multiple-choice tests, freeing him up to actually teach instead of drowning in paperwork.
  • MYaghi the Doctor: AI helps spot symptom patterns he might have missed. His diagnoses are more accurate, and his patients are healthier.
  • Husam: AI tools create original images for blog posts, convert text to audio, and creates video clips for social media posts. He uses AI to research topics of interest with ease.

Your Smart Next Steps

Ready to dip your toes into AI? Here’s how to start:

  • Play around with AI tools – No coding needed!
  • Talk to people using AI – Learn from their experiences.
  • Stay curious – AI is always evolving.
  • Think practically – What problems could AI solve for you?

Remember This:

  • You don’t need to be a tech genius.
  • Start small—AI isn’t all-or-nothing.
  • Focus on what actually helps you.
  • Keep the human touch—AI should assist, not replace.
Google’s first Chief Decision Scientist, Cassie Kozyrkov, wrote a LinkedIn post:
  • AI only sees the past, not the future.
  • AI only sees the pattern, not the purpose.
  • AI only sees the data trail, not the human story.
  • AI only sees compliance, not commitment.
  • AI only sees what you wrote, not what you thought.
  • AI only sees your calendar events, not what they mean to you.
  • AI only sees what was implemented, not what was considered.
  • AI only sees what worked before, not what will work next.
  • AI only sees what you did, not why you did it.
  • AI only sees your digital shadow, not the real you.

What’s Next?

AI is getting better at understanding us, helping us, and making work easier. But at the end of the day, it’s just a tool—you decide how to use it.
