MEXICO CITY, October 31 (EL UNIVERSAL).- Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in multiple aspects of daily life, although sometimes we are not fully aware of it.
Precisely to be more aware, it must first be clear that it is artificial intelligence, which we can summarize as intelligent machines or programs, that is, they are programmed to carry out certain tasks automatically without the need for a person. monitor your work.
Therefore, there are many and varied examples, such as conversational chatbots to respond to the needs of users from various institutions, or the already popular personal assistants such as Siri or Alexa, which allow us to have a smart home, thanks to the fact that they use the natural language processing to interpret what is being communicated to them and thus respond to human needs, either verbally or through the execution of a specific action.
Smartphones are another example of devices that constantly use artificial intelligence, since they include a voice assistant (such as Siri or Google Assistant) capable of responding to human requests. Another example on smartphones is when the camera’s portrait mode is selected, and the smartphone software takes care of fixing the image automatically.
However, these technological advances are also present in the world of fiction, where they can generate feelings of wonder and restlessness, but also fear; since, without a doubt, the unknown will always generate some uncertainty for the viewer, since as the film director, Alfred Hitchcock said, “there is nothing more terrifying than a closed door”.
