AI is coming whether we like it or not. The key is who is leading the development and applications. AI is only as good or bad as the input. You know the old saying? Garbage in, garbage out.
And I dont know how OP doesnt see practical applications for regular people -- we already use AI everywhere everyday. You may not see it but its in everything. Any where there is predictive programming, from the online games we play to the ads we see on the internet and the coupons we get in the mail, is fueled by AI.
