5 Artificial Intelligence Examples you see Everyday

Artificial Intelligence might look like a big scientific innovation, but you would be surprised to know the few of many things it is already being used for in our daily lives. It has had a huge impact on our normal day’s schedule, whether we are aware of it or not.

Artificial Intelligence is not only transforming the way we handle our computers or smartphones, but also the way we interact with the real world. It has actually taken the human-machine relationship to a new level and has transformed the way tasks were executed, in many sectors.  We now stand at a point where imagining robots performing operations is not actually a dream.

In this article, we share a few instances where artificial intelligence played a pivotal role, which might as well have not have caught our eyes.

Siri, Google Now and Cortana are simplest examples of intelligent digital virtual assistant that we have in our daily lives. They can help us in setting up our alarms, booking a movie’s ticket, informing us of weather and traffic conditions – the list just continues. With a similar idea in mind, conversational commerce is gaining popularity, through chatbots. Customer service agents we interact with are now being taken up by smart artificial intelligence-powered bots.

Artificial Intelligence is being used by a lot of banks to detect online fraudulent transactions. They are programmed in such a manner that they report in case of any irregularity in the way payments or transactions are being made. With support from Machine Learning and Blockchain technology, it will improve the security scenario we have today.

Ever wondered how a dress you checked out yesterday appears in your feed today? The answer is artificial intelligence. Systems are programmed in such a manner that they keep a track of the sites visited by an individual and the time they spend on it. They then deliver a purchase prediction and use it to push sales through coupons, vouchers or any sort of discounts.

Smart homes technology now includes devices that have the ability to learn about an individual’s behaviour and lifestyle patterns and work accordingly. Imagine a system that switches off the lights at 10 pm as it has understood the sleeping pattern of the individual. Similar programs can be done to make the morning tea or breakfast as well.

A video of a drone successfully delivering a Dominos pizza has been gaining a lot of views on social media websites. The technology behind it was artificial intelligence which helped the drone to understand the roads and streets and deliver it to the right person. This idea is being used to develop smart cars that would apply brakes as soon as an object comes around a specific perimeter of it. This can be used to save lives by avoiding accidents and also take control of traffic issues.

There are no two ways to the fact that artificial intelligence is the future and whether we realize it or not, it is present right in front of us. Look around you, the smartphones you use, the customer service agent you talk to – an intelligent AI agent is behind it. It won’t be wrong to say that in the next 5 years or so, AI will take over most of the manual operations. So, let’s just sit back and enjoy technological shift that artificial intelligence is bringing to us.
