Crafting the Future: AI Applications Surrounding Your Space

We live in a world where we are surrounded by machines. We can’t imagine our lives without it unless one wants to be in the times before the industrial revolution. In the pursuit of imitation of human intelligence and maybe better, AIs (Artificial Intelligence) have become an integral part of our lives. From Alexa to Chat GPT, we are progressing in a constant flow of advancements. Consumer Electronics hold a major stake in our daily lives, where we are in constant interaction with one of the many consumer electronics. With the advent of AI (Artificial Intelligence), our interactions with consumer electronics will be more personalised and according to our needs. There are three factors influencing the adoption of AI (Artificial Intelligence) by the consumer electronics industry. First is data, data analysis of inputs given by the consumer gives the opportunity for the makers to improve their features and make it more personalised. Second, is access to specialised hardware which can handle heavy processing and management of data. Third, is the consumer demand which drives the constant changes made for personalisation of data. This tells us that AI (Artificial Intelligence) will transform the current generation and evolve step by step into the future.

Applications of AI in Consumer Electronics

Let us observe our surroundings and find out how the “old” is getting replaced by the “new” advancements. We need to be informed to keep up with the times. Here are the possibilities surrounding us-

Detecting Defects

AI (Artificial Intelligence) to be used in manufacturing units, is going to be mainstream in the coming years. This will reduce defect rates which is the current issue affecting the supply chain crisis. Detecting defects as early as possible will save money, energy and material usage. This could be done through the usage of a predictive fault prevention AI (Artificial Intelligence) model. This AI (Artificial Intelligence) model will take a peek at the historical data and learn about the early-stage station data anomalies and setpoints resulting in late stage defects. Then it analyses the assembly line’s real-time data which is used to alert the user to detect specific unit defects before they occur. The user can then take proactive steps, such as manipulation of units or recalibration of machines, to make sure that the defect never occurs.

Personalising Home Entertainment System

With the rise of OTTs, the entertainment paradigm has shifted to becoming a major part of our recreation life where we can scroll through a wide range of content waiting to be watched. AI (Artificial Intelligence) has entered this space to make it better by personalisation through keeping data of your interaction with the system. It can now predict what you want to watch by analysing your habits based on what genre you watch. It also connects with the room atmosphere by setting the sound, lighting conditions and visuals according to your watching patterns. AI (Artificial Intelligence) replaces the need of a complex remote and multiple steps to operate a TV. AI (Artificial Intelligence) gives you the opportunity to use your voice and hand gestures to command the system to play what content you want to watch. This makes the AI (Artificial Intelligence) used in entertainment systems, user friendly and intuitive.

Thriving in Smart Homes

The ascension of the digital age is making everything around us connected to technology. We are surrounded by machines which imitate a certain percentage of human intelligence and could someday become better than human intelligence. Starting with smart homes, the machines of our daily lives such as refrigerator, washing machine, oven,etc are becoming new applications of AI (Artificial Intelligence). This setup lets the consumer be at ease and not do any manual labour. Smart homes have the capability to make your home functionally efficient and more productive. In the pursuit for sustainability, smart homes could also provide energy efficiency in all aspects of the home by saving water, using lesser heat, presence based lighting etc.

Immersing into the Gaming realm 

In the gaming realm, AI’s (Artificial Intelligence) applications are enormous. Since the gaming industry has been on the rise, it has been evolving exponentially and pushing its limits for an immersive, responsive and dynamic experience for gamers.This avenue has multiple benefits to reap from AI (Artificial Intelligence). The player experience has been improved in which multiple varieties of landscapes and scenarios could be created to challenge and engage the player into it. The algorithms track stats on player’s gameplay and use that data to modify the gaming experience and avoid monotony in gameplay scenarios. When it comes to NPCs (Non Playing Characters) , use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) is done the most through AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms. AI (Artificial Intelligence) makes the characters think on their own and provides a distinct gameplay story with its own complexity and depth. Game content could be made by AI (Artificial Intelligence), which makes the developer’s job easy to assemble content and the players might get endless opportunities to play the game differently each time.

Smartphones,your Digital Ally

Smartphones have been at the forefront of consumer electronics in the past decade. AI (Artificial Intelligence) developments have been gradually added one by one to enhance the functionality of smartphones. One of the features being voice recognition, which helps the user using simple language to make requests to the phone to perform tasks based on the user’s needs. Then there is predictive text, which helps the user to build a faster communication by text suggestions on the way.This reduces time and the smartphone learns the standard vocabulary used by the user. Then there is the ultimate feature, that is virtual assistants such as Siri, Google assistant, Cortana, Alexa, etc. This feature enables control over your smartphone’s functionality and they perform tasks based on the instructions given by the user such as asking the assistant to put alarms, find something on Google or other search engines such as Bing, Yahoo etc., making a list of tasks, calculating complex maths problems,and many more. Smartphone cameras have been upgraded to perform functions such as using augmented reality which is interaction of the virtual with real life elements such as snapchat filters and AR-based games such as “Pokemon Go” where through your phone you interact with a virtual element on screen with a real background, then we have face recognition which uses facial patterns to recognise the user and allow access to the phone.

Upcoming  Trade Fair – Consumer Electronics World Expo

Consumer Electronics World Expo 2024 is a premier exhibition going to be held this  year. It is India’s premier business to business sourcing exhibition for consumer electronics, gadgets & appliances. It is an expo where new innovations define the present. There have been several advancements in the consumer electronics industry and AI (Artificial Intelligence) is on the forefront of it. The ones exhibiting have something new to offer and this could make a huge difference as our machines of daily use are becoming smarter through AI (Artificial Intelligence). These machines as consumer electronics are something to be looked forward to.

Conclusion

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is going to be everywhere in the near future and it will make our living enhanced and comfortable. The technological struggles of today will turn into innovative technologies of convenience, tomorrow. We will reach a point where we will be surrounded by AI (Artificial Intelligence) based functionalities. That is the future we are heading towards. Factories will have no people on the assembly line, smartphones will be as precious as your jewellery, interactions with machines will be like friendship, gaming will make you explore virtual worlds like never before along with their dynamics in gameplay being self reliant, and instead of you picking out content for entertainment, you will be given the perfect choice of content to watch. Our future is getting defined today for a new tomorrow which will define itself
