How have you fit AI into your daily life, either personally or professionally?  If you haven’t yet, you’re falling behind.

By Ollie Burkett: For beginners, the idea of learning how to use artificial intelligence (AI) might feel overwhelming. But many of today’s tools are designed to be approachable, even for those with no prior experience, said David Humphreys, director of AI Integration at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU).

Many AI tools are flexible enough to adapt to how you already think, whether that means talking through ideas or typing out structured prompts, according to Humphreys.  “You don’t have to change the way you think to use the tools,” he said.

A good approach is to dive in and begin using it. Hands-on use helps you understand how these systems think and respond, Humphreys said. You don’t need to be tech-savvy to get started — just the willingness to experiment, he said.

Using AI generally isn’t difficult — it just starts with curiosity and a willingness to try things out. If you’re comfortable using the internet or typing out questions, you already have what you need to begin, Humphreys said.

Some people use AI to plan meals, others to brainstorm school projects or write code, Humphreys said, and no matter your education level, you can still have a meaningful experience using it.

“I’ve seen people do some absolutely wild stuff — compose music, create videos, map out complex projects,” he said. “And they’re just regular users, not experts.”  Read On:
