For ages, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been hailed as the technology of the future with the power to revolutionize society. With advancing technology, it's clear that AI is not just a distant dream but a significant part of our present and future. And, guess what? Every day AI is already making waves in how we engage with technology.

Web Searches and AI

Previously, search engine algorithms would rank web pages based on factors that were easily manipulated by SEO experts. This led to lower-quality content overshadowing deserving pages on search engine results. To combat this issue, AI technology now plays a crucial role in refining search engine rankings. By utilizing learning AI, search engines can adapt and prioritize content based on evolving optimal lists. For instance, if a result ranking third garners a higher click-through rate than those above it, the search engine can learn from this anomaly and elevate that result to the top spot.

AI Social Media Integration

Everyday AI has already become widely used in social media algorithms, but one area where its impact may have gone unnoticed is in image recognition. AI can tag and identify photos uploaded to social media platforms. While this may not initially seem groundbreaking, considering that 657 billion photos are posted digitally each year, AI's ability to scan through social media for images resembling those of specific brands like Coke or Pepsi is incredibly valuable. Advertisers can now track their social media mentions, even if the posted photo lacks a caption. Utilizing AI in this context proves to be faster and more reliable than human efforts, providing brands with invaluable data to aid in their growth.

Stores and Services Incorporating AI

In the realm of integrating everyday AI into stores, each implementation showcases a unique and innovative approach tailored to the specific services they offer. An intriguing example of this is LoweBot, a robotic assistant that navigates Lowe's stores, engaging customers with simple queries to assist them in locating desired items. LoweBot excels in providing directions, sharing specialized product insights, and even monitoring inventory levels within the store.

In the near future, we can expect everyday AI integration to become even more widespread in our society. It's a race for OEMs to jump on board and seize a slice of this booming market.
