Every day, AI helps people with their personal lives, jobs, transportation, education, health, and more. Maybe even without them realizing it. Here are some examples of AI in action on a typical day.
In the morning, a teenager wakes up and uses facial recognition to unlock her phone. She scrolls through social media feeds to see what's new. Then she asks the voice assistant on her phone what the weather is going to be like that day so she knows how to dress for school.
A college student uses an app on his phone to deposit a birthday check from his grandmother. He takes a photo of the check and the app automatically reads the handwriting to figure out the amount. It then deposits it into his account.
Meanwhile, a younger student uses a different app that is teaching her a new language. The app listens to what she says and can recognize what she's saying even if she makes mistakes. The app then gives her personalized feedback on her pronunciation.
At the same time, a person gets in their car to go to work, and the navigation system plans the fastest route based on current traffic. In the car, they listen to a music streaming service, which already knows what types of songs they like based on what they listened to before.
When a factory worker arrives at her job, she sees that, as usual, humans and robots are both assembling cars. The robots do some of the more dangerous or repetitive tasks, like welding or painting. AI helps the robots recognize the tools they need to pick up or check parts to make sure they have been cut exactly right. When cars are completed, computers help manage inventory and plan efficient shipping routes to deliver them around the world.
