AI is becoming an integral part of mobile and web projects, and its integration should focus on enhancing the user experience and adding value to the product.ML Kit, a Google initiative, provides pre-trained models for various AI tasks such as image and text recognition, face detection, and more.Developers should explore and experiment with AI to discover innovative ways to improve their products and solve real-world problems.Understanding the business logic and the problem being solved is crucial for effectively integrating AI into projects.
