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.
