"Collins Dictionary" defines "AI" as "the use of computer programs to model human psychological functions." Alex Beecroft, general manager of the publishing house, said that “AI” is undoubtedly the focus topic in 2023. “It has become ubiquitous in a short period of time. It once sounded futuristic, but now it has become ubiquitous. Integrate into our lives as everyday technology.”
