Abstract: From voice assistants and recommendation systems to navigation tools and personalized learning, AI shapes how people live, work, and interact with technology. This rapidly growing area of research has transformed AI from a concept of the future to a technology that permeates almost every aspect of human life. This paper will discuss the integration of AI into everyday applications, identify common areas where students interact with AI unknowingly, and examine its positive impacts and potential ethical concerns. This study is based on a survey among first-year engineering students and a review of secondary literature. The results show that while AI enhances convenience and efficiency, the awareness of its mechanisms and ethical issues remains limited.
