It’s not AI. Many smartphone companies market their newest features as “AI,” but in many cases they are better described as advanced software with machine learning components. These systems do not think, make independent decisions, or act on their own goals. They only perform specific tasks they have been designed and authorized to do. If they were truly autonomous AI, they would be able to decide what to do without relying entirely on predefined rules, user input, and strict limitations.

So the right question is:
