AI is all around us, and many of us interact with it without even realizing it. Which of the following tools do you think uses AI?
AI is behind the scenes in your email service, sorting through incoming messages to filter out spam and categorize emails into primary, social, and promotional tabs. This technology uses pattern recognition and machine learning to continually update its filtering criteria based on new data.
Navigation
Traffic apps like Google Maps or Waze use AI to analyze real-time traffic data, predict traffic conditions, and find the optimal route for your destination. This AI considers current traffic, accidents, road closures, and even the day’s typical traffic patterns.
Digital Cameras
Modern digital cameras, including those in smartphones, use AI to enhance image quality. AI algorithms automatically adjust settings such as focus, exposure, and color balance in real time to capture the best possible shot. They also recognize faces and can optimize portraits automatically.
Music
While it’s often known that AI is used to recommend music, its role goes deeper. Apps like Spotify analyze listening habits not just to suggest songs or artists but also to detect patterns in music preferences, adjusting recommendations based on time of day, activities, and even moods.
