Machine minds (AI) have been a hot word for many years, drawing us in with hopes of robots that can think and do as we do. While the true dream of such smart machines stays in the story world, we do have a kind of AI we use every day: Simple AI. Also called Narrow AI, Simple AI means computer systems made and taught to do just one thing or a small set of things, not having the wide smartness or knowing themselves. We can look at some kinds of Simple AI and see how they work in different parts of life.
Help from Machines
The most all over kind of Simple AI, machine helpers like Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Helper, listen and answer to what we ask. They use smart ways to hear and get either spoken or written orders and do things like set times to remember, play songs, or give facts.
Simple AI runs the tips given by sites like Netflix, tunes services like Spotify, and big online shops like Amazon. These programs look at what users do and like to offer movies, music, or things that fit what each person likes, making things better for them and keeping them coming back.
Seeing Images
Simple AI is key in letting computers know things, people, and places in photos or videos. This kind of help backs up face knowing on social sites, tags in photo programs, and watch systems for safe keeping.
Even though the idea of cars driving themselves sounds like it’s from the future, today’s models use Simple AI to move on roads and make choices while driving. These cars have things that sense, cameras, and learning programs to see issues, get what stop lights mean, and drive right, but only in ways set before.
Shops use Simple AI bots to make talking to customers about help, selling, and more automatic on sites and messaging services. These bots know patterns and set replies to talk with us in a real way, to help out and get facts.
In health care, Simple AI is in tools for finding out health problems and helping make health choices. Learning programs check patient info, like how they feel, their health past, and tests, to help health workers find out illnesses, say what to do for them, and guess what will happen.
Changing Languages
As machine talk-changing tech gets better, Simple AI helps change talk or text from one tongue to another. Tools like Google Change use network minds and count ways to change right between many tongues.
Banks use Simple AI to spot and stop bad uses of cards, checking buys to see patterns or odd things that show fake actions. These help cut down risks and keep accounts or personal facts safe.
Simple AI runs fake players (NPCs) in games, copying how people act and make choices to make playing fun. Those who make games use ways like finding ways, smart plans, and acting models to make hard rivals or helpful friends in made-up places.
Simple AI lets groups make plans based on old facts and models. From money to weather, using what’s likely to happen helps firms and those who study things know what may change and make strong plans.
Simple AI has use in a lot of ways that make tasks easy, add to what we can do, and bring new ideas to different areas. While these don’t have the wide smarts and self-knowing we have, they are good at doing set jobs fast and right, pushing us forward in tools and how we live. As we keep looking into AI and getting better, we have big chances to use Simple AI for hard problems and to make life better.
