AI is the hottest area of development in computing and unlike self-driving cars that are still quite a few years away Artificial Intelligence based apps are available right now on Google Play Store. Chances are you’re already using some of them.
What is AI? There are multiple definitions but the one that suits our purpose best is – self-learning programs. Based on your usage, the app learns about what you need and reacts accordingly. AI cannot actually think yet, but using complex algorithms it is able to predict what you want and customize themselves.
