Believe it or not, AI is everywhere! Many of us use artificial intelligence each day without even knowing it.

At its core, AI is like a smart student who can learn a lot from their past failures and successes. The more things it learns, the fewer errors it will make.

As time passes and their learning experience increases, AI models get better and better at recognizing data patterns.

Think about your smartphone’s camera, for example. Any time you want to take a picture, AI algorithms analyze the image and apply settings that help you get the best possible shot. Every time you write a text message, AI predicts the next words you’re most likely to use, and so on.

Voice-activated assistants, such as Alexa, listen to your words and learn your preferences. That’s how they know how and when to play your favorite music.

Modern search engines use AI to browse through trillions of database records in their search for the perfect result for your query. They’re similar to the best librarians you’ve ever known – just 1 billion times faster than those librarians are :)

The next time you unlock your smartphone, remember that a lot of its ‘smart’ functionality is powered by artificial intelligence, the smart technology that continues to improve, making our lives better each day.
