When AI is no longer called AI

We keep talking about AI now because it is still too new, and we have not fully adapted to it. Think back a few decades: when elevators first became automatically controlled, people even promoted the idea as “electronic courtesy” because an elevator operator no longer needed to press the floor button for you. Today, who gets into an elevator and says, “Wow, this is an artificial intelligence elevator”? It is just an elevator. Databases were also high tech when they first appeared. Now who still thinks SQL is AI?

The future trend is definitely the invisibility of AI. It will hide in the background of all software like electricity. When you open a ride-hailing app, it automatically optimizes the route; when you open a document, it automatically organizes a summary. By then, we may no longer discuss the term artificial intelligence at all, because it will have become software itself. Much of today’s anxiety comes from the fact that we are in the transition from novelty to everyday commodity. Everyone is still feeling their way forward, watching the excitement but lacking certainty. That is all normal.
