Through our website and community outreach efforts, AI World supports the revitalization of businesses in small towns across America. We encourage an action plan that not only addresses the vitality of Main Street America, but also is directed towards assisting those businesses that could be adversely impacted by Artificial Intelligence (AI). We've added pages on money making ideas from AI and practical AI projects to help small businesses. We've also created a section for Industry segments with individual pages on Entertainment, Finance, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Retail. We plan to add more industries shortly to showcase AI in business, whether on Main Street or on Wall Street.

As much as we review and celebrate the AI technologies and machines, we would do well to acknowledge the people behind the machines, those amazing pioneers whose ideas and hard work gave rise to the machine and its cultivation. In this spirit, we've added sections on Biographies, the past pioneers, and People in AI, those who are pioneering AI today. Biographies include Alan Turing, the greatest person of the 20th Century; Grace Hopper, the mother of computing; and Ada Lovelace, the first programmer, who actually never had the opportunity to see her program executed. We'll be adding more in the near future.

Since January is the month to set resolutions, why not browse some of the great AI products available, make plans to take a course on AI or join a user group. We can't wait to find our what's in store for the Wide World of AI in 2025, and wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Are you a software developer interested in designing an AI app? Or someone who just wants to know how AI apps are made? Then check out some of the new webpages about designing and building AI apps or models. The code generation page shows how AI apps can automatically generate the source code for you. The github page lists top projects available for free on github, the world's most widely adopted AI-powered developer platform.

For our new products page, we identified a category called 'Unique Innovations'. Little did we know how unique some AI-powered products can be. Consider the humble bird feeder. There is a solar and AI-powered bird feeder that can identify bird species, provide alerts when a bird appears, and listen to bird sounds. A microphone is provided in case you want to talk or sing to the bird. And speaking of unique products, how about an AI drone? They seem to be very popular in the USA and UK these days, especially around military bases.
