AI often sounds like some far-off science fiction concept, but it\u2019s actually behind a lot of things you encounter in your daily life. Here\u2019s the rundown: we train a software system with lots of examples so that it can pick up on patterns. Rather than telling the computer that all spam emails contain the phrase \u201cnew weight loss trick!\u201d, you train it using millions of examples of spam, and make small corrections until it can pick out the pattern on its own. This ability to learn patterns is called machine learning, a subset of AI.<\/p>\n

Without you realising it, AI is indeed making your daily life easier in many ways \u2014 read on for 13 of them!<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Making Life Easy in a Fun Way<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1.<\/b>\u00a0Search for\u00a0\u201cdogs\u201d or \u201chugs\u201d\u00a0in your Google Photos library to find your favorite furry friends and (non furry) moments. Even if you haven\u2019t captioned any of your photos, Google can surface the ones that have the object or action you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

2.<\/b>\u00a0Google Play Music delivers\u00a0personalised recommendations<\/a>\u00a0to play the right music for any moment. By taking into account things like time of day or weather, Play Music can suggest the right music for\u00a0cooking\u00a0dinner or\u00a0watching the sunset.<\/p>\n

3.<\/b>\u00a0Take a photo\u00a0in Portrait Mode on Pixel 2 (Google\u2019s smartphones), and it\u2019ll\u00a0perfectly blur the background\u00a0<\/a>of the photo. This system has been trained with almost a million portraits to learn how to pick out the subject of the photo and blur the background.<\/p>\n

4.<\/b>\u00a0Watch more than one billion YouTube videos with\u00a0automatic captions, powered by machine learning algorithms that transcribe speech in 10 languages.<\/p>\n

Productivity and Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n

5.<\/b>\u00a0Quickly respond to an email\u00a0with Smart Reply in Gmail<\/a>. Smart Reply saves you time by using AI to suggest three responses based on the email you received. Once you\u2019ve selected one, you can send it immediately or edit your response.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0<\/b>And\u00a0with Nudging<\/a>, Gmail uses AI to remind you to follow up or respond to messages that are older than two to three days, making sure you don\u2019t drop the ball.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0<\/b>Every day, Google Play Protect\u00a0automatically reviews<\/a>\u00a0more than 50 billion apps, and even devices themselves, and takes action when it finds anything suspicious.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Helping You Out in the World<\/strong><\/h2>\n

8.\u00a0<\/b>Translate\u00a0text on a sign or menu<\/a>\u00a0by holding your camera in front of it. Google Translate uses optical character recognition to figure out the words, and a translation system \u2014 which has been trained with millions of examples of existing translations on the web.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0<\/b>You can strike up a conversation with your Google Assistant (virtual assistant) in more than a dozen languages.<\/p>\n

10.<\/b>\u00a0Estimate how hard it\u2019ll be\u00a0to park your car<\/a>\u00a0on Google Maps. It even takes into account parking availability in a given area. Google Maps has learned the patterns of how different parts of a city get busy at different times.<\/p>\n

11.<\/b>\u00a0Find the right address\u00a0on Google Maps, thanks to a system that has learned to read street names and addresses from billions of Street View images.<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0<\/b>Search what you see<\/a>\u00a0with Google Lens, whether it\u2019s landmarks, books, artwork, or your neighbour\u2019s dog. It\u2019s possible only with the latest in computer vision \u2014\u00a0by using machine learning to identify objects and browse the world around you.<\/p>\n

13.\u00a0<\/b>A\u00a0smart algorithm\u00a0in Google Trips can help you plan your next trip. It\u2019s the classic \u201ctravelling salesman<\/a>\u201d research problem, applied to modern transportation and all the complex ways people move around.<\/p>\n
