Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant use AI to understand what you say!
Video Games
Game characters use AI to make smart decisions and react to your moves!
Photo Recognition
Your phone can recognize faces and objects in pictures using AI!
Music Apps
Spotify and YouTube use AI to recommend songs you might like!
