In many ways. AI may
sound like something from the other dimension, or at list from a sci-fi book.
But it is much closer than we might think. We already use various types of AI
in our everyday life, maybe without even noticing it.
Advertising
Finally, artificial
intelligence is going to take targeted/personalized advertising to a whole
other level. If you think the Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal was bad,
then you have no idea what's in store in the next decade.
Advertisers are already
able to predict what types of ads emotionally impact your purchasing behavior.
As time goes on, ads are going to continue to become more tailored to the
individual. Imagine Amazon's Alexa slipping sponsored messages into a natural
conversation or personalized augmented reality billboard ads that know you by
name (think Tom Cruise in Minority Report).
Criminal Justice
The next industry
disrupted by artificial intelligence is the criminal justice system.
Advancements in facial recognition are making the fingerprint obsolete. Tech
startups are using AI to automate legal work. Meanwhile, some courts are
already using AI to sentence criminals and determine parole eligibility.
Virtual personal
assistants like Siri,
Google Now and Cortana are all AIs. They collect information during your
requests and that data to better recognize your speech and give you results
that are a better fit to your preferences.
video games
One of instances of using
AI are video games. AI has been there since the very first ones, actually. The
complexity and effectiveness has increased over time, though. Characters learn
your behaviours, respond to stimuli and react in unpredictable ways.
Smart cars
Smart cars like Google’s
self-driving car and Tesla’s “autopilot” use AI as well. Car’s AI “learns” to
look at the road and make decisions based on what it sees.
Marketing
Target and Amazon use AI
to make purchase predictions. This can be used in a wide variety of ways,
whether it’s sending you coupons, offering you discounts, targeting
advertisements, or stocking warehouses that are close to your home with
products that you’re likely to buy.
Chabot’s
Many websites use
chatbots to talk to customers. Some of them are actually able to extract
knowledge from the website and present it to customers when they ask for it.

Context and response. Perhaps take this further by investigating a few of these at a deeper level...
