Introduction: From Siri to Clippy, A.I. has been with us for decades. Meet the new generation of Artificial Intelligence that's been taking over and how it is shaping our world A.I. is no longer a futuristic concept. It has been with us for decades and is now taking on new roles in the workplace, healthcare, and education sectors. For instance, Clippy was a virtual assistant that was developed by Microsoft in the 1990s and was designed to answer questions about Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word or Excel. Clippy's responses were often humorous, but it could also be annoying when it popped up at inappropriate times or gave irrelevant answers to simple questions. The new generation of AIs are more flexible than their predecessors and can be used for multiple tasks without being exclusively programmed for one specific task like their predecessors were.
