What’s all the hype surrounding Ai? Donald Trump has announced America will make a $91-billion investment in Artificial Intelligence, and the stock market is going wild for it. But what even is Ai? What is it for? Who’s actually using it? If you follow the news closely, you’ve likely heard there’s an Ai bubble. Opponents say the hype around Ai is just that: hype. However, Ai has impressive real-world uses. Here are the top 3 uses for Ai income.
1. Car Damage Scans

Many years ago, you’d return your rental car keys to the guy at the front desk of Hertz. Together, you’d do a walk-around, and then you’d be on your way. With Ai scanning machines picking up the smallest dings, car rental companies are making more money than ever.
According to Editor-in-Chief of frommers.com Jason Cochran, “Hertz… intends to install these scanners at 100 of its roughly 1,600 airport locations across the United States.” Originally made by tech company UVeye to scan cars for guns and bombs, the machines are closer to bots with Ai than scanners.
The car is pulled by a travelator through the machine or driven through. From there, the Ai scans using a number of cameras. It searches for damage from top to bottom to include the undercarriage of the car. With such fine attention to detail, it catches nicks a human couldn’t with a magnifying glass. And the entire process takes just a few minutes.
If you rent cars, you might have a strong disdain for this technology, especially if you’re being charged for nicks underneath the car no one will ever see. But if you’re an investor, you see opportunity. You don’t have to start an Ai company. You just need to invest in the stocks of companies leveraging it the best.
2. Filing Claims and Appeals

Sometimes, health insurance companies unjustly deny your claims, and you need to file an appeal. However, you don’t always have the right words or the time to dedicate to doing it. Considering the amount of research and writing without a guaranteed win, it’s not an attractive process. Ai has taken the dread out of filing appeals and saves people money on legal fees.

For $40, a woman used Ai to write an appeal to try to get approval for her arthritis medication she had been denied for months. Once it was done, she sent it to the insurance company’s legal counsel and CEO. They responded by paying for the medication and issuing the woman an apology letter.
If you’ve been denied Social Security benefits or are having trouble with a corporation, find a good Ai source to use. It will save you time and money. On the other hand, if coding is your thing, why not develop a similar app? There are many areas in need of Ai automation, and maybe you can make people’s lives easier when facing the government or large corporations.
3. Videos and Other Creative Content

There are entire YouTube channels solely hosted by Ai characters. Some of them have more subscribers than popular human influencers. The difference is, the person behind the Ai YouTube channel doesn’t have to be on camera to get paid.
Also, there is TikTok’s Ai Bigfoot. His videos have had millions of views. Unlike Ai slop, this Bigfoot has personality, funny content and consistency in character. Because of this, it comes off as closer to an animated tv show short than a work of Ai.
It may seem silly, but creators are making money using Ai. The content isn’t easy to make interesting, especially since anyone with a phone can make Ai videos. Those who have actual talent are drawing in big audiences and grabbing the dollars that come with it. Consider how you can make the most of it.
The Takeaway
Billions of real dollars are being poured into Ai development. Companies like Hertz are fattening their bank accounts squeezing customers with Ai damage detectors. Consumers don’t like it. Investors do. Regardless, Ai has multiple real-world uses. It’s helping consumers fight bad corporate polices and creators make money. Ai isn’t a mystery. It’s everywhere, and it’s waiting for you to leverage it.
