What Makes Something AI?

Everyone calls everything “AI” now - from dishwashers to automatic doors. But what actually makes something AI?

In this episode of Everyday AI for Everybody, we break it down with one simple rule: 

If it doesn’t learn, it’s not AI. 

We explore the difference between tools, automation, and real AI using everyday examples like photo apps, smart devices, and self-driving cars.

Learning is the line. Smart ≠ AI. Automated ≠ AI.

You’ll learn:

• The 3 Buckets of Technology - Tools, Automation, and AI

• How AI Learning Works with examples

• Why smart technology may not have AI

You’ll walk away with a simple test you can use anywhere to spot AI hype and understand what’s really happening behind the scenes.

Key takeaway: Not everything smart is AI, and knowing the difference is an everyday skill.
