Definition:
“AI refers to the ability of machines to perform cognitive tasks like thinking, perceiving,
learning, problem solving and decision making. “
Initially conceived as a technology that could mimic human intelligence, AI has evolved in
ways that far exceed its original conception.
With incredible advances made in data collection, processing and computation power,
intelligent systems can now be deployed to take over a variety of tasks, enable connectivity
and enhance productivity.
1. Google Search
The most fundamental activity on the internet is searching for things. And for the last decade
and more, Google Search has been the go-to search engine to look for all sorts of stuff.
Google Lens is another Google service that is built on AI and has some great technology for
fast and accurate optical recognition. It allows you to search for anything through images.
If you are using a smartphone, you are interacting with AI whether you know it or not.
From the obvious AI features such as the built-in smart assistants to not-so-obvious ones such
as the portrait mode in the camera, AI is impacting our lives every day.
Talking about AI, there is no better and more prominent display of this technology than what
smart car and drone manufacturers are doing with it. Just a few years back, using a fully
automatic car was a dream, however, now companies like Tesla have made so much progress
that we already have a fleet of semi-automatic cars on the road.
if you are using social media, most of your decisions are being impacted by artificial
intelligence.
6. Video Games
Google and Apple along with other navigation services use artificial intelligence to interpret
hundreds of thousands of data points that they receive to give you real-time traffic data.
The banking and finance industry plays a major role in our lives. I mean the world runs on
money and banks are essentially the gatekeepers that regulate that flow. Did you know that the
banking and finance industry heavily relies on artificial intelligence for things like
customer service, fraud protection, investment, and more? A simple example is the
automated emails that you receive from banks whenever you do an out-of-the-ordinary
transaction. Well, that’s AI watching over your account and trying to warn you of any fraud.
We are even willingly letting artificial intelligence in our houses. Many of the smart home
devices that we buy use artificial intelligence to learn our behaviour so that they can adjust
the settings themselves to make the experience as frictionless as possible for us. We have
already talked about smart voice assistants which we use to control these smart home devices,
and as we know, they are the prime example of AI impacting our lives.
While we can all debate the ethics of using a broad surveillance system, there’s no denying the
fact that it is being used and AI is playing a big part in that. It is not possible for humans to
keep monitoring multiple monitors with feeds from hundreds if not thousands of cameras at
the same time, and hence, using AI makes perfect sense.
12 Smart Speakers
Not for nothing, many believe that smart speakers are all set for a big boom in technology.
Aside from controlling smart home devices, they are also up to the task for several things like
sending quick messages, setting reminders, checking the weather and getting the latest
news. And it’s this versatility that’s proving to be a decisive factor for them.
13. Healthcare
The use of artificial intelligence has given a new dimension to healthcare. With the introduction
of AI-powered machines, it’s become a bit easier to detect disease and diagnosis. Moreover,
it’s also playing a significant role in making the treatment and management processes more
simplified. As a result, hospitals and healthcare centres are fast embracing AI-enabled
technologies to facilitate everything from research to the detection of diseases.
