In a discussion on the podcast "AI ID," Lithuanian technology journalist Adomas Rutkauskas converses with Eglė Tamelytė, the communications manager for Samsung in Lithuania, about the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life. The central theme that emerged from their conversation is that the question has shifted from "whether we use AI" to "whether we realize that it already operates in our daily routines." This reflects a growing awareness of AI's presence in technology and everyday activities.

Eglė Tamelytė shares her first encounter with the concept of AI, noting that it was not through technology itself but through cultural representation in films like "Her," where a man develops an emotional connection with an AI system. This highlights how media can shape our understanding of AI and its potential role in human lives. As the film showcased the emotional and relational aspects of AI, it prompted deeper reflections on how such technology might function in real life.

As the conversation progresses, Tamelytė emphasizes that the transition from the idea of AI to its practical application has taken time. She notes that many may have unknowingly started using AI tools as various features have been seamlessly integrated into their everyday technologies. This consciousness of AI's influence is evolving, and the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) controlled by AI is emerging as a "new norm," suggesting a transformational shift in how we interact with our living environments and technology.
