- September 8, 2023

Hey there, business magnates! 🚀 Have you ever wondered what those two big words “Artificial Intelligence” mean? Well, get ready to dive into the world of AI in a way that’s as easy as building a LEGO spaceship! Imagine you have a super smart robot friend. This robot friend can learn things, just like you do in school. But guess what? It doesn’t need a backpack or pencils because it has something called “digital brain.” Now, this digital brain can look at tons and tons of pictures, videos, and information, just like when you look at all those cool dog videos on the internet. 🐶 But the robot brain is super-duper fast, like a cheetah with turbo boosters! So, why is this robot brain so awesome for businesses? Well, remember how you can ask your robot friend to tell you a joke or play your favorite song? AI can do something similar for businesses, but even cooler! Continue reading ⬇️ It Can Help Make Big Choices Just like when you ask your friends for advice, businesses can ask AI for help in making important decisions. AI looks at lots of information and says, “Hey, based on what I’ve learned, maybe you should try this!” Talking to Customers You know how you chat with your friends? Well, AI helps businesses talk to their customers on websites or even on the phone. It can answer questions and help you find what you need, like a friendly virtual helper. Guessing What’s Next Ever play a game where you guess what comes next? AI can do that too! It looks at what you like and what you do, and then suggests things you might enjoy. Like when it says, “You might also like…” when you watch videos. Being Super-Fast Helpers Just like your robot friend can do math really fast, AI can crunch numbers quicker than a calculator. This helps businesses do things like figure out how much stuff they need to make or how much money they’re making. Finding Sneaky Things Remember playing hide-and-seek? AI can find things that are hiding, but instead of toys, it’s looking for problems. It can tell if something is acting strange, like when you spot your little brother trying to sneak your cookies. Learning New Tricks You love learning new games, right? Well, AI loves learning new things too! It can learn from mistakes and get even smarter over time, just like you do when you practice playing an instrument. So, in conclusion, there you have it – AI is like having a super clever friend for businesses. It helps them make choices, talk to customers, guess what’s next, be super-fast at math, find sneaky problems, and keep learning new things. Just like you, AI is here to make the world a cooler, smarter, and more fun place for everyone! Now, who’s ready to build their own AI-powered LEGO spaceship of success? 🚀🌟 Yasmine Gardiner
