Here's how 'context awareness' is going to bring AI to your daily life Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis

If yesterday's Google I/O keynote was anything to go by, it's abundantly clear that Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. Many of the mobile apps and services we use each day already have some level of AI powering their internals, but these days it's become so seamless that we hardly ever notice. I frankly don't talk to my phone too often, but when I do--from asking Google Now to ask for information about the new city I've landed in, to querying Google Photos to show me all photos of my daughter laughing, it's fascinating (and sometimes scary) to see these tools in surprisingly accurate action. Many of these advancements are thanks to rapid developments in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence, developments that now enable computing devices to understand our voice, or recognize features in photos. Coupled with cloud-based services and cellular connectivity, all of this'intelligence' is suddenly available to billions of smartphones, from mega-metropolises to humble villages.
