In this day and age, AI has rapidly become part of our lives from smartphone apps to the equipment in state-of-the-art hospitals. And as such, it is now easy to see AI as somewhat a normal part of technology nowadays.

But it is worth noting that AI is still in its early stages. Not to mention that it is a bit complex even if the by-product of AI appears to be seamless these days. That said, there are tons of stuff that we still ought to learn from it.

So there is no better way to celebrate AI Appreciation Day than delving deep into the topic, such as learning about basic AI development. Or better yet, explore more tools like apps that are primarily using AI.

After all, according to National Day Archives, AI Appreciation Day is supposed to put the spotlight on the benefits of AI to our lives.

While the idea of AI is typically paired with modern innovations these days, National Today notes that its history dates back to 1943. It was when the first iteration of AI was formally recognized.

As early as 1985, before AI technology has become an inevitable part of our lives, the AI market, in general, has ballooned into a billion-dollar industry.

And fast forward to more recent times, or in 2015 to be more precise, software and apps have greatly adopted the power of AI.

National Today adds in its report that more than 2,700 software projects have started to include AI technology, thanks to Google. Now, the numbers continue to grow steadfastly.
