AI is Everywhere!

You probably interact with AI more often than you realize. It’s not just about robots; AI is woven into many aspects of our daily lives.

What is AI?

  • At its core, AI refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.

AI in Everyday Life:

  • Phones:
    • Voice assistants: Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant – these use AI to understand your voice commands and respond accordingly.
    • Camera apps: Features like facial recognition, portrait mode, and photo filters rely on AI algorithms.
    • Social media feeds: AI algorithms personalize your newsfeed, showing you content you’re likely to engage with.
    • Music streaming services: AI creates personalized playlists and recommends new music based on your listening history.
  • Shopping:
    • Online shopping recommendations: Websites and apps suggest products based on your browsing and purchase history.
    • Targeted ads: AI analyzes your online behavior to show you relevant ads.
    • Self-checkout systems: AI helps to streamline the checkout process.
  • Entertainment:
    • Streaming services: Netflix, Spotify, and other platforms use AI to recommend movies, shows, and music.
    • Video games: AI powers non-player characters (NPCs) that can make decisions and adapt to your gameplay.
  • Transportation:
    • Ride-sharing apps: AI optimizes routes, matches riders with drivers, and estimates arrival times.
    • Traffic prediction systems: AI analyzes traffic data to predict congestion and suggest alternative routes.
