The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Daily Life

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no more just a concept in science fictions or background high-tech labs. AI today is beginning to play a significant and indeed transformational role in our everyday lives—often in the noise. AI is changing the way we live, work, shop and are exposed to the world from our smartphone assistants to individualised recommendations. This post will outline the direct and indirect impacts AI has on our everyday.

1. AI in Communication

One of the most public face of AI, is in your communication. On virtual assistants (Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa) it uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand what are our questions and then answers in real time. All your autocorrects and text prediction on the phone is baby steps of AI.

In fact, AI has been applied in some platforms like email also that reviews automatically the spam and gives you a quick reply right according to message. 

They drive faster, better and safer communication. AI in all our life: from chatbots to driverless cars, AI is redefining the future. In this article let us try and find out how AI is changing our life daily and the impact benefits as well as harm it brings.

2. Personalized Experiences

AI is the heart of our recommendation system on Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, marketplaces like tokopedia and shopee or wherever. AI learns user habits and recommends the content to individual preferences, providing a much more optimal user experience.

In one example, as soon as you have watched one movie over, the system suggests another movie that is likely to appeal to you — based on how you ended watching that exact one. Simply making entertainment easier and quicker to choose along with products. 

3. AI in Transportation

AI is crucial in development of self driving cars as well as smart navigation systems within transportation. AI is also used by Google Maps and Waze to read traffic in realtime, and suggest what seems like the fastest ways.

AI is commonly used in their ride-sharing application ( Gojek and Grab) for pricing dynamically, predict pick-up time & route optimization etc. 

4. Smart Homes and IoT

AI – Smart Homes getting smarter & more intelligent. Google Nest, Amazon Echo etc. and other kinds of IoT devices in OS allow you to control that home temperature, lights and security with the voice or an app.

With AI, you can teach the system when you normally turn off lights or airconditioner and it adjusts accordingly to your schedule when u r not at home. 

5. AI in Healthcare

AI aids the doctors in the medical field to diagnose diseases faster and provide accurate results. For example, AI algorithms "read" CT scans or MRIs to identify minute traces of cancer or other anomalies the naked eye may miss.

AI is used for health apps — fitness trackers or smartwatches that track your heart rate, how you sleep and if you exercise and give you personalized feedback about how to live a healthy lifestyle. 

6. Job Automation and the Future of Work

AI also creates problems, particularly for the workplace. Today routine data entry, simple customer service and basic financial analysis as performed by chatbots and AI tools. Efficiency increases, but there is a backlash against automation of human labour.

But there are new opportunities too like Data Science,AI, Machine Learning, Robotics and Cyber Security which is on a higher demand now in this Digital age with the help of Artificial Intelligence. 

Conclusion

Artificial Intelligence is already an integral part of our lives. From the convenience of watching automatically recommended movies, to managing our homes and personal health, AI provides great convenience and efficiency. However, as this technology advances, it is also important for us to understand its ethical and social impact in order to adapt and utilize it wisely.

With AI continuing to evolve, the future is promising - provided that we harness it responsibly and with awareness.
