The following are some of the examples of AI around us:

                    • Smartphones: The  built-in smart  assistants (like  Siri) are some
                   obvious  examples  of  AI.  Google’s  AI-powered  predictions  have  a
                   visible impact on every person’s life. The portrait mode of the camera
                   in our smartphone is also an AI feature. It makes the background blur
                   while focusing on the foreground object.


                                                       • Email  Spam  Filters: Email categorisation  and  spam filters are some
                                                      powering features of AI that affect our inbox. Simple rule-based filters are
                                                      used to mark spam or put email into various categories as Primary, Social,
                                                      Promotion or Important.


                    • Virtual  Assistants:  Smart  virtual  assistants that  we  use to  control our  smart
                   house are prime examples of AI impacting our daily lives. They use AI to study our
                   behaviour and patterns so that they can adjust themselves automatically. They
                   are capable to do several things like send quick messages, set reminders, check
                   the weather and get the latest news.


                                 • Social Media: When you are posting a picture on your social media account, the social media
                                account automatically identifies the people and gives suggestions to tag them. From the feeds

                                to see on the timeline to the notifications that you receive from these apps are all AI-based.


                    • Music  and  Media  Streaming  Services: Music apps like Spotify or media
                   streaming apps like Netflix, Hotstar, or YouTube are primarily AI-based apps
                   which make decisions for us. The type of content that you watch becomes the
                   base of the next recommendations for you.




                                                              • Video Games: AI is used to control the creation of characters,
                                                             animals or machines in games. The machine makes moves and
                                                             actions based on the input given by the player.






                    • Navigation: AI takes charge of your navigation through Google Maps, Uber, or even when booking
                   flights/hotels. The apps used to make reservations use AI to give you suggestions for alternate
                   routes to be taken to avoid traffic. When you book your cab, it uses AI to give suggestions for
                   both pricing and the type of car.



                                                  • Security and Surveillance: AI-enabled security cameras cover the footstep
                                                 and do the analysis of the moves taken by the intruders. They are smart
                                                 enough to do real-time monitoring.
