🤖 What Is AI – And Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
David Cook • April 2, 2025
You’ve probably heard the term AI (Artificial Intelligence) everywhere lately — but what does it actually mean for you?

In simple terms, AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini (from Google), and Microsoft Copilot are new digital assistants that can write, explain, organise, and answer things in everyday language. And the best part? You don’t need to be a tech expert to use them.
Why does it matter?
- If you use Gmail or Google Search, Gemini is already popping up to help.
- If you use Word or Excel, Copilot is starting to offer smart shortcuts.
- And ChatGPT? It's like a personal helper who never sleeps.
This month at Frontier, I’m focusing on how everyday Aussies can use these tools — whether for writing emails, getting help with tech questions, or learning something new.
