AI TODAY

A lot of the AI used today is a type of AI called “machine learning.” Let’s learn about the different ways we use it.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS

If you know the names Siri or Alexa, it may be because you already have AI in your house, assisting you with daily life. Whether you need help ordering new shoes, playing your favorite song, or turning on the movie for family night, all you have to do is ask Siri or Alexa, and they’ll try to do it for you.

SELF DRIVING CARS

AI has made a big impact on the automobile industry. It uses AI to help drivers do everything from smaller tasks, like avoiding obstacles or staying in their lane, to bigger tasks like parallel parking. There are even some taxi cabs without drivers at all!

CHAT BOTS

It used to be that if you needed to know the answer to something, you had to look it up in a book or ask someone who knew. Nowadays, so many AI engines online will take any question you ask, comb the entire internet in mere moments, and give you an answer. They don’t always get things right, so it is very important to do your own research.

MEDICINE

The medical field is where we see AI's most positive impact. Teaming up with AI, doctors can better analyze medical scans, such as X-rays and MRIs, to ensure the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. With the help of AI, scientists hope misdiagnosing will soon become a thing of the past.
