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.
