How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Everyday Life

The concept of communicating with smart machines through verbal commands use to be a futuristic fantasy in science fiction. Current society experiences this phenomenon in every direction

1. Smartphones That Understand You

When you type in a sentence, and the AI comes with the completion, it’s AI. AI is also powering voice assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, or Alexa. For instance they can answer a question, set an alarm and can even crack a joke. Using them isn’t very tech mumbo jumbo and can be done with a few words.

I remember asking my phone one day to remind me to call Amma at 7 PM, and it just did, no writing it down, knowing that I will forget about it. 

2. Smarter Shopping Experiences

The recommendation algorithms on Amazon and Flipkart provide precisely the appropriate products you would want to buy. That’s not magic—it’s AI. Communities utilize the data of your shopping behavior along with your shopping history to display related or similar items for purchase.

The AI technology you experience in such platforms makes both your search time shorter and consumes less time. Post-holiday customers find it wonderful to receive personalized recommendations instead of spending countless hours on endless scrolling.

3. Entertainment That Gets You

This is due to AI, apps such as Netflix, spotify and YouTube suggesting content we will like.

I once started watching a Tamil movie on Netflix and the following day, my feed was all like suggestions of similar films – even some I have never heard of but loved, thereafter.

In India, AI is being used even in rural health programmes—especially for screening for eye and TB detection
