It was not a long time ago that artificial intelligence was considered science fiction. However, in the last few years, people have started believing that such a thing can exist. Nowadays, you will find that a lot of people use AI to solve serious problems in their everyday lives. They use it for things like finding the easiest and fastest way to reach the office from their home, reading pages that have texts in another language, looking for required information for any purpose, etc.

The rapid rise of AI has certainly been applauded since that has made things easier and time-efficient. However, there are plenty of people who are still unaware of how AI is impacting the everyday lives of people. Learning about it is crucial. Here is how artificial intelligence impacts the everyday lives of humans.

1.   Robotic Chefs

It might be hard to believe but there are robotic chefs already available. The catch is that the technology is currently quite expensive, which is why most people cannot afford it. However, it is likely to scale in the future, similar to how automatic check-out machines became popular and spread in supermarkets. It is true such a technology could well make a large number of people in the hospitality sector extra.

For the smaller jobs that might be left, occupational hazards could well be an issue. Having said that, the biggest issue will be privacy concerns. For instance, what will happen when cameras and sensors that supply important data to the automated system end up recording the personal information of employees and customers? Making alterations becomes highly important to avoid such problems.

2.   Facial Recognition Technology

Facial recognition technology has slowly but surely become an everyday experience for humans through things like CCTVs in public spots and similar technologies that come with most smartphones nowadays. Usually, they are used in smartphones for unlocking and locking access. It is worth noting that the data never leaves your device, it stays there to save you the time that it takes to type a code or password.

Similarly, this technology used in CCTVs is often justified by terms like “security concerns”. There are still questions about its effectiveness in preventing crime. Even a perfectly functioning system can threaten the privacy and personal freedom of a person. There is no way people can live a happy life if they are under surveillance at all times.

3.   Customised Shopping

It is more than likely that you would have a question like this at some point: how does this e-commerce platform know that I was thinking about buying a pair of shoes from a particular brand? It is quite obvious that a lot of platforms use AI to create personalised recommendations for customers. They gather your browsing history, interests, and preferences and also track the activity that you engage in on other websites. Through AI, businesses can easily scan through the data to predict your behaviour and provide personalised recommendations for you. You should have more information on technology, such as AI, to learn if it is used in the correct manner.

Wrapping Up

Thinking technology is not good for you is not ideal. This is because it makes your life easier, happier and longer in a lot of cases. It offers quite a bit of convenience. This is why it is a must to stay updated about the latest technologies like AI and how they impact your life.
