"Artificial intelligence (AI) exploded into the mainstream in late 2022 with the release of ChatGPT. Now, barely three years later, it has colonised modern life to a remarkable degree. Leading chatbots are registering roughly 1.5 billion active users per month. OpenAI says 230 million of them pose questions to ChatGPT about their health and wellness each week. Global survey data indicates virtually every CEO is clamouring to integrate AI into their company due to fear of missing out."
""Everything is AI now, so nothing is AI," one industry analyst recently told Wired magazine ahead of the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show, the tech industry's largest retail trade fair held every year in Las Vegas. "It has reached such a point of saturation," he said, adding that consumers don't even consider a product utilising AI as a unique selling point anymore."
AI adoption surged since late 2022 and is deeply embedded across consumer services, workplaces, and social platforms. Leading chatbots log roughly 1.5 billion monthly users, and millions ask about health and wellness weekly. CEOs are racing to integrate AI out of fear of being left behind. AI now mediates labour markets, dating apps, and consumer products. Automated content farms and deepfakes spread misinformation, fuel political extremism, and undermine social cohesion. Commercial success by synthetic artists and AI-enabled toys shows cultural impact. Growing public distrust has spurred creators and communities to challenge deployment practices, with uncertain prospects for lasting change.
