AI and Its Impact on the Future World By Siam Times Research Team Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the modern world. From intelligent chatbots to autonomous vehicles, AI is revolutionizing the way we think, work, and live. While it brings enormous benefits, it also poses significant challenges that we must address proactively. Positive Impacts of AI Improved Efficiency and Accuracy For example, AI systems can analyze CT scans and detect brain abnormalities faster and more accurately than human doctors. Boosting the Digital Economy Retail businesses are leveraging AI to predict customer behavior and provide personalized marketing, driving significant revenue growth.
