                    AI Around Us


            When you pick up your smartphone to click a picture, it turns to portrait mode, you are using AI whether you
            know it or not. From the notifications that you received on your social networking account to the advertisements
            of the upcoming new web series, everything is AI curated. 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 in 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 the foreground object.





                                                            • Email Spam Filters: Email categorisation and spam filters are
                                                           one of the 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.
