AI is no longer limited to tech companies. It is being adopted across industries in ways that are changing how work is done. Examples include:

  • Healthcare using AI for diagnostics and research
  • Cities using AI for traffic management and infrastructure
  • Financial services using AI for analysis and decision making

At the same time, reports show:

  • Millions of jobs could be impacted globally
  • Over 50 percent of jobs may be reshaped by AI in the next few years

This shows that AI is becoming a general-purpose technology, similar to electricity or the internet. For education, this means AI literacy is not just for future engineers — it is relevant for every student, in every field.
