HCI Companion Day #7: The Future of Our Daily Lives Revolutionized by AI

"Does AI really change our daily lives?" Meetup Overview While there are various contents and discussions concerning AI, we often reflect on where the AI capable of truly transforming our lives resides. In most instances, individuals only mention using tools like ChatGPT or Claude, without delving into something more profound. AI is a groundbreaking technology, but its importance will ultimately be acknowledged when it becomes part of our lives, much like the World Wide Web and smartphones have. However, having AI alter our lives in everyday situations is more complex than we might assume, and perhaps the AI products that accomplish this will soon be the prevailing designs, akin to smartphones, in our daily existence.
