Examples of Artificial Intelligence You’re
Using in Daily Life
• Virtual Personal Assistants
Siri, Google Now are all intelligent digital personal assistants on
various platforms (iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile). In
short, they help find useful information when you ask for it
using your voice; you can say “Where’s the nearest Chinese
restaurant?”, “What’s on my schedule today?”, “Remind me
to call Jerry at eight o’clock,” and the assistant will respond by
finding information, relaying information from your phone, or
sending commands to other apps.
• Smart Cars
You probably haven’t seen someone reading the newspaper
while driving to work yet, but self-driving cars are moving
closer and closer to reality; Google’s self-driving car project
and Tesla’s “autopilot” feature are two examples that have
been in the news lately. self-driving cars learn to drive in the
same way that humans do: through experience.
• Purchase Prediction
• Large retailers like Target and Amazon stand to make a lot of
money if they can anticipate your needs. Amazon’s
anticipatory shipping project hopes to send you items before
you need them, completely obviating the need for a last-
minute trip to the online store. While that technology isn’t
yet in place, brick-and-mortar retailers are using the same
ideas with coupons; when you go to the store, you’re often
given a number of coupons that have been selected by a
predictive analytics algorithm.
• Fraud Detection
• Have you ever gotten an email or a letter asking you
if you made a specific purchase on your credit card?
Many banks send these types of communications if
they think there’s a chance that fraud may have
been committed on your account, and want to make
sure that you approve the purchase before sending
money over to another company. Artificial
intelligence is often the technology deployed to
monitor for this type of fraud.
• In many cases, computers are given a very large
sample of fraudulent and non-fraudulent purchases
and asked to learn to look for signs that a transaction
falls into one category or another. After enough
training, the system will be able to spot a fraudulent
transaction based on the signs and indications that it
learned through the training exercise.
• Security Surveillance
A single person monitoring a number of video cameras isn’t a
very secure system; people get bored easily, and keeping
track of multiple monitors can be difficult even in the best of
circumstances. Which is why training computers to monitor
those cameras makes a great deal of sense. With supervised
training exercises, security algorithms can take input from
security cameras and determine whether there may be a
threat—if it “sees” a warning sign, it will alert human security
officers.
• Smart Home Devices
Many smart home devices now include the ability to learn your
behavior patterns and help you save money by adjusting the
settings on your thermostat or other appliances in an effort to
increase convenience and save energy. For example, turning
your oven on when you leave work instead of waiting to get
home is a very convenient ability. A thermostat that knows
when you’re home and adjusts the temperature accordingly
can help you save money by not heating the house when
you’re out.
