In popular sci-fi movies and TV shows we often see that machine learning or robotic future is almost here. And if it is a real step of humanity into a new era, then we are the first persons responsible for exploring and improving these technologies. With AI, our lives become so much easier everyday, with more and more options to define our small but productive steps of self-development.
1. Personal assistants. Smartphones.
Apple’s Siri is one of the most important and actual introduction to AI in your mobile phone. Siri can provide you with answers to simple questions and help with text-to-speech. Windows created Cortana and it can remind us of upcoming important dates, and also provide us with current weather information, while Google integrate their assistant with Google Home and Apollo. And all of this means that you can have a personal multitask assistant within various platforms.
Yahoo Tech researchers compared Siri to Cortana, Google Now, and Alexa to find out which one is the best voice assistant. Only Siri (on iPhone) and Google Now (on Android) can flawlessly perform tasks like “remind me to pick up my documents when I will be in the car” or “Remind me to wear the green in the St. Patrick’s Day”. But only Siri can affect the phone’s voice control and perform tasks such as “Make the phone screen brighter” or “skip this track” while listening music.
2. Wearable Technology
The FitBit made wearable technology cool and fun for everyone of us by charting our daily activity. Modern wearable technology can provide you with information about how much you`re sweating, how is your heart rate, and when you need to have a break. Google Glass allows you connect to your phone and receive email, get notifications from other applications without ever taking your eyes off where you`re headed. Using voice ommands and hands-free, you can drive a car or do business with concentrtion. So, in this case it`s a safe device.
3. Online Bots
Don’t miss the online bots, they are really smart AI features that are working in the background while we are not even aware that this is so. For example, Yahoo released an AI platform that can automatically detect 90% of harassing or rude comments by using an algorithm. Nowadays, cyber bullying is an important issue, and this service can be very useful in such situations. Online service bots provide us with information or answering questions when a customer agent is unavailable which also simplifies the process of obtaining information from service providers.
With the help of online bots, you can find a book and a direct link to download, share issue and it will help to find solutions or get bot that will be your friend. In China there is a bot created by Microsoft that can communicate with more than 20 million people.
AI in smartphones, personal assistants and online bots are very useful for all of us, they are making our lives more productive and providing us with solutions much faster.
