Some people love it, some people hate it. The future of technology and Artificial Intelligence is quickly coming ever closer, and our everyday lives are being impacted by AI more and more. To some it might sound like a scary Black Mirror episode, but for many the tech advancements in recent years has made a hugely positive impact on their lives. There are many aspects of AI we use in our everyday lives without even noticing it such as video games or personal assistants, but with new technology coming along all the time, it can be easy to feel like you're being left behind. Through high costs or tech jargon that goes over our heads, we could be missing out on AI to make our lives easier simply because we don't know just what's out there and how we could possibly afford it.
Using AI In Everyday Life
Video Games: I remember as a child playing the game Atmosphere and being mesmerised at the (at the time) ground breaking "technology" of being able to play a board game along with a VHS tape. This basic concept is now very dated, and in the 27 years since that game was released, video games have had a major revamp with Call of Duty, Middle Earth and Super Smash Bros using AI not only in the games themselves but also to help with their development.
Siri, Alexa, Cortana: From turning appliances off to telling jokes, iPhones and smart homes are quickly becoming a part of many people's everyday life. These electronic personal assistants have come on leaps and bounds in recent years and are now more advanced than ever before. AI is quickly assisting in every part of our lives and are most certainly the gateway to a future of robotics and AI assistants in a much more physical form.
Online Customer Support: Who would have thought that the famous Clever Bot of 2004 would now be able to help us with our online shopping? Well often when we are shopping for food, fashion or anything else online, if we need help then we check out the Live Chat the bottom of their webpage. Sometimes they have customer service advisors to help but often these are AI support bots who are able to take knowledge from the website to help answer specific customer questions.
Don't get Left Behind: Saving Money on Technology
Much like the apple iPhones which get an almost yearly revamp, other AI technologies are developing so quickly it can be hard to stay up to date with it all. Despite these incredible technological advances being available everywhere, they still take a toll of your wallet, especially with constant updated versions being released. However, for those of us who feel like everyone else is chatting to Alexa and you only have your Sat Nav for company, there are many ways you can save on the latest tech.
Using technology to save on technology may sound like a contradiction, but just by surfing the web you can get the latest AI technology for far less than you would on the high street. Visiting money saving websites like My Favourite Voucher Codes can help you save at places such as PC World, Amazon and Maplin, especially when you choose to buy refurbished technology. If you want the latest version of the hottest gadget, then trading in your old phone, laptop or other tech equipment is a reliable way to save money, space and waste.
From the self-tying shoelaces of Back to the Future to the self-driving cars of tomorrow, our fascination with AI is ever growing. Incorporating AI into everyday life can be incredibly beneficial, not only for helping us with daily tasks and finding out information quickly, but also to help us keep in touch with people around the world and helping those who have disabilities. In many ways AI is already a large part of our lives and staying up to date with developments in technology is now as affordable as it is exciting..
