AI on phones, good or bad?

Hi everyone,

Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of our everyday phone experience, from smart assistants and predictive text to photo editing, health tracking, and even real-time translation but is this a good thing?

On one hand, AI makes our phones more helpful, personalised and efficient. It can save time, improve accessibility, and even enhance creativity.

On the other hand, there are growing concerns about privacy, data collection, over-reliance on technology, and how much control we’re giving to algorithms.

• Do you find AI features on your phone genuinely useful or mostly unnecessary?
• Are you concerned about how your data is being used?
• Has AI made your life easier or more complicated?
• Where should we draw the line with AI integration on personal devices?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences, let us know your AI experiences in the comments below.

It seems to me there is a lot of hysteria over AI.
I oft wonder if this is generated by media who are looking for an angle to get more readership.
If you look back you will find that humanity has been critical of practically every "new" invention or step forward.
There are still some among us who believe the world is flat.

Think of the motor car and the reception it received, same as the transistor radio - my parents told me mine would stick to my ears, would damage my hearing. TV was the same. Even here in UK, there is a huge % of you who prefer to live in the past. Now you're trying to ban phones in schools rather than adapt. And yes, I have been a t/t and DO understand the challenge that mobiles present in a classroom. But if your lessons and teaching style is boring, still rooted in last century, then of course s/s are going to switch off. Truth is, humans have an allergy to change.

AI is really just an extension of machine learning, which certainly isn't new.
Many households will have an automatic washing machine - running on "Fuzzy Logic" - primitive AI.
Of course it has potential to be abused, a danger. What doesn't?
Coming back to the car - how many people are maimed or killed on UK roads each year?

• Do you find AI features on your phone genuinely useful or mostly unnecessary?
  Personally, my phone is more of a camera - I don't use APPS or AI on it.
• Are you concerned about how your data is being used?
  Yes, but that's a concern with practically everything these days, Email, Loyalty Cards, APPS
• Has AI made your life easier or more complicated?
  Neither
• Where should we draw the line with AI integration on personal devices?
  Impossible question - consumers will decide where the line will be drawn. When sales fall, the line has been reached
