Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days, often without you even realizing it. From social media to online shopping, AI makes your life a lot easier and more fun. Let's see how!

What exactly does AI do?

Let's start at the beginning: what exactly does AI do? When people hear AI, they often think of futuristic applications. This doesn't have to be the case, because actually everyone is already using it. There's no getting around it!

In short, Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to systems that analyze their environment and - with a certain amount of independence - take action to achieve specific goals. You can read how this applied to your daily life in this blog.

AI in Everyday Applications

Mobile phone

Today, many phones have facial recognition. This allows you to unlock the mobile, but it also lets you know what's in front of the camera when you take a photo. For example, remember that there is an album (on Apple) where you can filter by individuals.

Social Media

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter use AI to personalize your feed, show relevant ads, and remove harmful content. This gives you a unique and safe experience.

Online Shopping

E-commerce sites like Amazon and Bol.com analyze your buying and browsing history to recommend products you like. This makes shopping easier and more fun. If you really enjoy gaming, for example, you're less likely to get a discount on makeup.

Streaming services

Netflix and Spotify use AI to make recommendations based on how you watch and listen. As a result, you'll always discover something new that you're likely to like.

Navigation and Transport

Navigation apps such as Google Maps and Waze provide real-time traffic information and the fastest routes. They also predict traffic jams and help you find alternative routes so you can get to your destination faster.

Health care

AI is being used in healthcare to make diagnoses and optimize treatment options. Apps like Ada Health analyse symptoms and suggest possible conditions, which can help you find the right medical help.

Digital assistants

Ai takes over basic human tasks, such as setting reminders or turning lights on/off. For example, Google Home or Alexa learns to recognize your voice, speech patterns and accent, and your assistant is in the house. In addition, you should also consider chatbots. These bots help direct customer service agents and customers to the right place. This way, AI can immediately analyze the details about order status, shipping and returns.

Writing texts

Writing texts is actually the first AI technology where we, as users, have experienced AI tangibly, which really made this technology famous. AI text writing has made tremendous progress since then. Want to know what? Then read our page that we have dedicated to the writing AI texts.

Banking

Banks are also making use of artificial intelligence. They have set up the AI so that they can identify potential fraud by carefully checking the data and looking at a user's spending habits. Is there something wrong? Then the AI sends a warning.

Conclusion

AI is already deeply embedded in many of the things we use every day, even more than we mentioned in this blog. It makes services smarter, more personal and more efficient. It's literally an AI amigo! Therefore, appreciate and use this amigo.
