How Artificial Intelligence Infiltrated Our Lives

Our world has changed in so many different ways. From driving just bullock carts with wooden wheels, to finally getting an AI operated driverless vehicle onto the streets, artificial intelligence or AI has come a long long way. 

With our Alexa remotes having their voice-controlled features and Siri being the AI companion that you need, if you have faith in Joaquin Phoenix’s character from the super hit Hollywood movie Her, it is a clear wonder as to whether our lives are being steered by artificial intelligence or if we steer our lives through the use of AI. 

The following are some of the ways in which AI has infiltrated our lives in a host of different ways, all having much to do with our day to day livelihood struggles and more-

OTT Platforms 

Have you checked out the recent feature that several online OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and so on have included in their systems? This feature shuffles up your list and provides you with a host of preferences to watch. 

And the best part is that all of this is done by an AI that picks up on what you like to watch best and gives you all the recommendations through that algorithm. By analyzing predictable behavioral patterns, the AI makes your online streaming service viewings even more of an enjoyable experience. 

Healthcare Hijinks

Healthcare is one of those severely important sectors that have been deeply involved in the AI system right from the beginning. In fact, AI has helped the healthcare system to a great extent by not just discovering, diagnosing and managing diseases, but also to develop deep learning insights and create treatment plans by going through billions of medical cases. 

IBM’s own house AI, Watson is currently out there digesting tons of medical cases and treatments used on cancer patients to help doctors treat unusual cases as effectively as possible. 

Gaming Grounds 

Gaming is another sector that has immensely been benefited by artificial intelligence. AI is moulding the gaming industry by turning it into a smarter space and making the characters more realistic and natural in the long run. 

AI has taken simulation in games to a whole new level with reinforcement learning and pattern recognition to make the games more interesting and accessible, with a clear emphasis on making them feel very real. 

A current example would be games like Sims, FEAR and so on. Online slots in casinos and esports or fantasy sports in sportsbooks are also largely dependent on AI now, with better gaming environments, personalized changes, and fair gameplay to look out for. 

Some other industries that AI has affected deeply include the online shopping industry, education, workspaces and even our love lives. 

So, now that you know how AI has been changing the world, one step at a time, you must go right ahead and either watch Her or play some games to get a really amazing experience now.
