Artificial Intelligence: Six(6) Daily Uses

Sometimes you use it without even knowing it. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been part of your daily life for a few years and is making great strides. Futura deciphers for you each of the moments when it intervenes in your life.

In popular culture, artificial intelligence has long been synonymous with autonomous robots which, either in the disaster version,

 would come to destroy the human being, or, in the humanist version, would come to relieve him of thankless tasks.

If this latest futuristic idea is starting to materialize in the form of autonomous cars or robot vacuums or other mowers, artificial intelligence has already largely invaded our lives.

 

E-mails

Electronic messaging relies heavily on artificial intelligence to optimize its operation and improve the user experience. Spam filters benefit greatly from AI, which can process large amounts of messages and detect new spam flooding inboxes very quickly.

 

For its Gmail messaging, Google uses TensorFlow, one of the most advanced AIs that manages to block more than 99.9% of spam. The web giant does not stop there and offers other functions based on AI.

Its Smart Reply function offers short messages so that you can reply to an e-mail with just one click. The firm has also developed a function called Smart Compose, capable of finishing the user's sentences.

 

Social Networks

Artificial intelligence largely influences the way information is presented, especially on social networks.

For example, Facebook sorts posts from Contacts and Followed Pages, then filters them to highlight those deemed most important, while completely hiding the rest.

The site uses an AI called DeepText to analyze the content of publications which not only serves to organize the news feed, but also allows a human employee to intervene if he detects signs of suicide.

Search Engines

Search engines could hardly function without artificial intelligence, given the colossal size of the web. The AI is deployed in the form of robots that crawl the sites to index them, but also to rank them and determine the order of presentation according to the search terms.

 

It even allows you to customize the results according to the type of search: display the weather forecast, the distribution of a film, or even perform calculations or currency conversions.

Google also offers its Google Suggest feature, the predictive search that displays during query entry, which attempts to guess the search based on its indexing, frequent searches, and user history.

 

The Translation

Machine translation services, accessible through services like Google Translate, or directly integrated into sites like Facebook, have made great progress in recent years, to the point of producing perfectly understandable texts.

This breakthrough has been made possible in particular thanks to deep learning techniques, such as with Google's AI called Neural Machine Translation system (GNMT).

Merchant Sites

AI is also occupying an increasingly important place for online shopping sites. It suggests new articles to consult based on the history of the user, as well as the navigation of other visitors.

The sorting centers, for the preparation of goods, are also managed by AI with the growing use of robots which, in a ceaseless ballet, transport the products from one post to another.

 

Navigation Applications

Artificial intelligence has changed our traffic habits, thanks to navigation applications like Waze or Google Maps.

These determine the shortest route and estimate the time of arrival. They can even take real-time traffic into account to automatically change the trajectory to avoid traffic jams.
