Predictive text algorithms became popular with the rise of mobile devices, but they’re not a new concept.


Predictions are made based on the context of words that have already been typed in addition to other factors, such as learning from your habits and preferences over time and, in the case of more sophisticated AI software, direct input of certain topics and stylistic desires. The feature has widely become a part of everyday use with smartphones. Predictive text is an AI program that offers word suggestions to complete your sentences, thereby saving typing time and keystrokes. One of the many ways AI is helping humans is the use of predictive text to aid writers in creating new content. From Netflix recommending your next series, to Google Maps analyzing traffic and construction detours to find your best route, to your banking app translating the handwriting on your mobile check deposit. No, robot servants haven’t become a household staple (yet).īut AI is helping everyday people in ways you might not expect.

Artificial intelligence is changing the world.
