How is AI Being Used Today?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a term that has been thrown around in the world of technology for quite some time. It has gained immense popularity and media attention in recent years, particularly after some of the largest tech companies have begun to integrate AI into their platforms.

However, many people are still in the dark about the real-world use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Still, AI is already used on a daily basis to solve a wide range of problems found in arguably all aspects of life.

It has many useful features, such as computer vision, speech recognition, text processing, recommendation engines and so on.

In this article, we will take a look at the most common applications of AI.

1. Computer Vision

Today we use computers to do things that were once done by humans. Computer vision, or machine vision, is one of the most common uses of AI since the rise of computers.

It is can take pictures and videos, and then analyze the images. It allows us to create images with various different characteristics, such as image editing tools or recognizing objects in images.

Machine vision can also perform automated visual searches: finding specific items in images.

It is also used for driving cars so that they will not crash into things when they make mistakes like when turning right on red light or braking too late when approaching an intersection.

2. Facial Recognition

Another popular use of AI today is in the form of facial recognition. This software identifies a person then displays their image.

Facial recognition can also unlock our phones or authenticate us when we log into a website. This is used in Apple’s iPhone line, for example.

In banks, facial recognition verify users before allowing them access to bank accounts.

Some companies also use this technology for applications that require payment, such as ordering pizza through an app or paying for gas at a gas station using a mobile device.

Basically, facial recognition systems can do facial analysis and data collection.

This machine technology is also beneficial for security purposes, such as automatically detecting when someone has been compromised in a video or if someone is committing fraud.

3. Speech Recognition

One of the most popular uses of AI today is in the form of speech recognition. The software can identify and understand a user’s request and then fulfilling that request accordingly.

This technology is especially helpful for those who have speech disabilities or limited ability to speak due to medical conditions.

It can create user interfaces for home virtual assistants and do speech-to-text conversion, like Siri and Alexa.

Even big companies use this technology to enhance the customer experience. Amazon, for example, allows its users to speak directly into the microphone on their devices and have it recognize what they are saying and then convert it into text or a list of links.

Similarly, Google also offers similar services through its “Voice Search” application, which allows users to verbally search through their phone’s content using voice commands.

4. Text Processing

Text processing is also a common use of Artificial Intelligence today. It does things like text mining, summarization, entity extraction, and many more.

Text processing is used in many different areas from journalism to social media platforms and other business applications too.

Text processing can also can also find the right content that we are looking for by providing information about it so that we can choose what to read or watch next. 

5. Recommendation Engines

Recommendation engines are also common uses of the Artificial Intelligence machine that can currently be found. They are widely used in e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon and Netflix.

They enhance the customer experience by helping us find products that we might be interested in, based on our previous purchases or other preferences.

Recommendation engines can also perform automatic article recommendations, create personalized news feeds, and do text analysis.

Businesses use them to figure out what their customers enjoy. The AI then uses the data to maximize customer satisfaction.

6. Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles (self-driving cars) are another popular form of the Artificial Intelligence machine. They are able to drive without human input and with minimal accidents.

They do many different things, such as driving on public roads, autonomous parking and more. Self-driving cars can also perform tasks such as making deliveries and collecting parcels.

7. AI-Based Chatbots

The AI machine also comes in the form of AI-based chatbots.

They can be used for everything from customer service, marketing, and even games.

Chatbots are capable of smart replies in their customer interaction. This means they are able to have conversations with people so that they can carry out tasks and interact with people in a natural, near-human way.

This makes them useful for things like carrying out tasks, such as finding information about products or answering questions that people might have when they go online to buy something.

In conclusion, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will only continue to be a crucial part of our everyday life.
