Technology: Everyday AI

We use artificial intelligence almost every day. It is already assisting in making transportation more efficient: Google Maps can use location data to analyse traffic speeds and ridesharing apps use machine learning to predict rider demand.

In communication, email contains spam filters, which learn from a variety of signals and can categorise mail into different inboxes. AI can be used to develop plagiarism checkers in the world of academics; machine learning can help detect and predict when source code has been plagiarised. The present and future are technological.
