How AI is Slowly Taking Over Daily Life
Even if you're not aware of it, you use AI on a daily basis. There will be no artificial intelligence in the near future. It's already here and, frequently without our knowledge, is subtly changing the way we work, live, and think. AI starts working as soon as your alarm clock sounds in the morning. Your phone is using AI-powered facial recognition technology if you unlock it with your face. When you ask your smart assistant to play your favorite song or tell you the weather, artificial intelligence (AI) is listening to your voice, comprehending your commands, and giving you real-time answers. In reality, what appears to be convenience is the result of sophisticated machine learning and natural language processing.

While most planets spin like tops slightly tilted from vertical, Uranus seems to have taken a nap it literally lies on its side. Its axis is tilted at nearly 98 degrees, which means it rolls along its orbital path like a ball that has been knocked over.

That’s why most people assume Mercury, the first planet in the solar system, must be the most scorching world out there. But the universe doesn’t always follow human logic. Surprisingly, Venus, the second planet from the Sun, holds the title of the hottest planet in our solar system.
