The current impact of AI in our world is phenomenal. AI has already had an enormous impact in the way our society works, which is why there is a huge push for more research in this field. In just a few years, we will see the potential and impact of AI being realized in our daily lives. With the current advances in AI, we will be able to use AI in ways we never imagined before. A new era in computer science and technology is starting to take place.
