Thanks to modern technology and artificial intelligence, everything from the way we live our lives, work, and interact with one another has rapidly changed and those changes show no sign of slowing down.
Take a look at 25 ways artificial intelligence will likely change our lives within the next decade…
Cooking
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have an even bigger place in the kitchen. Devices like the Hello Egg are already being created to help make cooking even easier. In addition, AI will be used to design meals and meal plans according to health needs and goals.
Shopping
AI and algorithms are already being used to predict our shopping needs and desires. In the future, however, the technology is expected to become even more accurate. Not only will the technology present customers with exactly what they want, but it will also predict demand for an item so that the product is in stock.
Smart Transactions
Soon, credit and debit cards will be a thing of the past. Face recognizing AI will soon be accurate enough, cheap enough, and fast enough to be able to allow most payments to be made with just your face. In addition, some financial transactions will also be made using voice analyzing technology.
Management
The management of businesses is likely to change thanks to AI. Some believe that AI will replace managerial positions since the technology can be programmed to recognize and assign talent appropriately. Others in the field believe that AI will help workers so much that the need for managers will no longer exist.
Finding A Date
Online dating has revolutionized how people find love. However, in the next few years, AI is expected to change that even more. According to Sean Rad, chairman at Tinder, AI will begin to learn what qualities and features you find attractive and begin recommending people you might be interested in. The technology will then find shared interests and recommend date activities and events accordingly.
Date Training
After AI has helped you find a date, it will also be able to help you get ready for said date. AI chatbots are already being created to help prepare people and train people to speak and interact with the opposite sex more successfully.
Robotic Romance
For those who still can’t manage to find love, people will be able to be intimate with AI enhanced sex-dolls. With the new technology, RealDolls will be able to learn from their owners and emulate a relationship. The technology could also be used to create more realistic cyber-relationships.
Pets
AI will attempt to replace man’s best friend and other furry companions in the coming years. The household robots are being designed to look, act, and evolve the same way as our favorite pets. Not only will AI pets mimic the benefits of having a connection with an animal, but owners will have less responsibility since they would require little care.
Music
Technology has already been used to break down components of songs and genres to find and recommend similar types of music. In the future, AI will likely make even bigger changes to the way we make, find, and critique music.
Betting
AI can analyze infinite amounts of data and make accurate predictions based on that information. While that can be incredibly useful, it also might make beating the odds almost impossible for human betters who can’t possibly take into account every stat or every expert opinion as AI can.
News
While robots have already replaced news announcers in Japan, AI is expected to change how news is delivered and presented for the rest of the world in the next few years. Aside from robotic news readers, AI could be used to present less biased news, which is becoming more apparent and problematic.
Road Travel
The concept of self-driving cars is nothing new thanks to innovators like Elon Musk. However, in the next several years, it’s expected that fully autonomous cars will become available to the public. Not only will it change the way we commute, but it has the potential to create mobile workers who are constantly on the move.
Traffic
Self-driving cars are expected to be able to reduce the amount of human error on the road, which will reduce the amount of accidents and time spent sitting in traffic. However, when people are forced to sit in traffic, it will be time spent sleeping, reading, or talking to a friend.
Intelligent Schedules
Currently, our devices are able to repeat past appointments in the future. In the coming years, AI will begin analyzing our messages and conversations. Our devices will then look for references to future events and begin committing those events to your schedule.
Homework
AI has proven to be able to read, understand, and solve questions on its own. In the next few years, intelligent apps made to help with homework are expected to reach the public. In the end, this might lead to homework that is no longer problem-based.
Sports
Generally speaking, most sports have not changed much since they were originally created. However, as AI becomes more advanced, many believe that the technology could be used to create completely new strategies to play and win our favorite games.
Training
In some ways, AI will make us more lazy and dependent. When it comes to fitness and training, however, AI is expected to help us become better athletes. Not only can smart devices help us get better golf swings, but we will also have more data about our bodies to help us work out more efficiently.
Political Campaigns
AI is able to process and analyze massive amounts of data about specific populations of people as well as entire countries. With that information, the technology will be able to create the most effective and successful campaigns for politicians.
Border Security
Not only could AI help monitor stretches of the border for illegal crossings, but technology like biometrics and face recognition could help keep specific people from getting into a country’s borders. Not only would this help border agents do their job, but it could make the process of crossing the border more efficient.
Cyber Defense
The NSA has already begun using AI to increase cyber defenses with technology that can identify a threat, stop the attack before it even happens, and then send out an automated counter attack. While there is a slew of legal and ethical concerns related to this technology, it’s expected that AI will play a bigger role in international cybersecurity.
Corporate Cyber Defense
No matter if a human security expert is a top expert in the field, people can’t possibly respond fast enough to an automated botnet attack. As a result, more people and companies will start relying on AI technology that can automatically respond to and protect against such attacks.
Linguistics
The technology already exists today to help translate foreign languages in real time. However, experts believe that this technology will be improved and become more sophisticated in the next few years. Not only will more languages be included, but the speed and accuracy of real-time translation is expected to improve.
Finances
AI is set to turn the banking and financial work on its head. Not only will many banking jobs become automated, but AI will also allow for more people to afford better financial help to manage their money. In the past, this has traditionally been something only the wealthy could afford.
Legal Defense
High-level lawyers are successful for being able to find holes in the law, which is why they will likely never be replaced by AI. However, new technology could provide better defenses for people who can’t afford proper representation and have been forced to rely on over-worked and jaded public defenders.
Medicine
The possibilities are endless for AI technology in regards to medicine and health in general. Not only will new technology help doctors make more accurate diagnosis, but it can help create more effective treatment plans. In addition, AI healthcare could help people in remote areas who normally wouldn’t have access to doctors or medicine.
