I've been reading a lot about AI recently, and one thing that keeps surprising me is just how many industries are being transformed by it. I used to think it was mostly about robots and manufacturing, but now I see AI popping up in healthcare, education, finance—even marketing. Has anyone here actually seen AI in action in their workplace or industry? Curious to hear some real-world experiences or unexpected use cases.
I’ve been working in the supply chain sector for over a decade, and honestly, the changes AI has brought in just the last few years have been mind-blowing. One example: demand forecasting used to be something we updated monthly with spreadsheets and a lot of guesswork. Now, AI systems process historical data, weather trends, and even local events to predict demand in real time. This means fewer stockouts and better customer satisfaction.
What’s really worth checking out, especially if you’re trying to get a solid foundation across industries, is this AI Foundation course from Advised Skills: https://www.advisedskills.com/artificial-intelligence/artificial-intelligence-foundation. It goes over the core concepts and shows how AI applications are tailored for different sectors. The course really helped me understand why AI works so differently in healthcare (where patient privacy and predictive diagnostics matter most) compared to, say, financial services, where fraud detection and algorithmic trading are key.
Also, an unexpected place I saw AI being used recently? A local farming co-op is using drones combined with AI to monitor crop health. That’s not something I would've guessed 5 years ago!
