In the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay: AI is transforming the way we interact with technology, and not only that, it is also making our lives much easier, from the simplest, such as solving everyday tasks much more efficiently, to carrying out much more complex activities. Here are 5 areas in which AI is developing in your daily life that you may not be aware of:
1. Virtual Assistants
Virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant are AI applications that have changed the way we perform simple tasks. Setting reminders and alarms, answering questions like ‘what will the weather be like tomorrow?’, controlling smart devices in our homes or playing games like ‘Pasapalabra’, are some of the multiple functions that these assistants can perform.
2. Personalised Recommendations
Have you ever noticed how the uses of AI in everyday life make streaming platforms like Netflix and Spotify suggest movies, series, podcasts or music that might interest you? Behind these recommendations is AI, which analyses your viewing or listening habits to offer you content that suits your tastes and preferences.
3. Machine Translation
Machine translation is another area where AI is playing a crucial role. Applications such as Google Translate or Deepl use AI algorithms to translate text from one language to another much more accurately, quickly, precisely and, most importantly, instantaneously, facilitating communication between people speaking different languages around the world.
4. Fraud Detection
In the financial sphere, AI is used to detect fraudulent activity in banking and credit card transactions. AI algorithms analyse large volumes of data in real time to identify suspicious patterns and alert users to potential fraud, helping to protect their finances.
5. Home Automation
AI is also present in smart home devices such as thermostats, security cameras and lighting systems. These devices use AI to learn your routines and preferences, automatically adjusting temperature, lighting and other settings to optimise comfort and energy efficiency, and can be combined with other AIs such as virtual assistants to voice-activate these functions.
In short, Artificial Intelligence has invisibly integrated itself into many facets of our daily lives, improving the way we work, entertain ourselves and communicate. As technology continues to advance, it is exciting to think of the new ways in which AI will continue to enrich our lives in the future and there will be more and more uses of AI in everyday life.
