Friendly artificial intelligence

Friendly artificial intelligence (AI) is a type of computer program that is created to make life easier or better for people. It is designed to be able to think and learn like a human, but it is not real or alive. Friendly AI can be programmed to do things like provide weather forecasts, drive a car, or help people with tasks by suggesting the best way to do something. AI can also provide personalized recommendations to customers, like what movies to watch or what products to buy. AI can help people in many ways, but it always has to be programmed with clear instructions on what it should and should not do. This helps people know that it will make decisions that are in their best interests and not harm them.
