LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES: Be smart. Welcome new artificial intelligence solutions.

The vast list of artificial intelligence applications continually increases as researchers, technologists, and scientists try to leverage computing power to gain competitive edges over the more slowly adopting set. Today I want to traipse across the American business and tech landscape and present a few of the new and hopefully intriguing upgrades of these mostly familiar devices and services being brought into the 21st century via AI. First a quick overview of the concept of AI and where it's come from over the past years and decades. Earlier writings comingled two phrases to identify the technology: artificial intelligence, which has become the well-known marketable way to talk about the tech, and "computational intelligence," which might be useful amongst a group of AI--err, CI?--subject matter experts, but doesn't carry the cachet of its more widely accepted phrase. For anyone who uses either phrase, it's generally understood to refer to some sort of machine-based intelligence.
