Android & Chill
One of the oldest technological columns on the web, Android & Chill is your Saturday discussion on Android, Google and All Things Tech.
AI is often a fashionable word inducing fatigue, used too many people on too many presentation steps to tell us why everything they try to sell is better than others. There is no remoteness of this for the moment, but even if you ignore everything you are told and never open these fantasy tools, you always use AI for many tasks that you do every day.
Look at your phone. Is it excited? Then you use AI.
AI can power almost anything
I wrote a lot of words about what I like to call “Gimmicky Ai” which feeds the tools and services to become so common. Some are really good, some is, but that’s it for all those who want it, and it remains above all if you do not.
The whole AI is not like that, and Your phone (or tablet or watch) thrives on it. The most fundamental things are partially fueled by AI now, and for the most part, it has made it very better. Without this, a large part of what we consider that normal would not be possible.
Part of his super geek and nothing more people are interested in. The predictive AI can be interfaced with the nucleus supplying your phone (consider this as the brain of all of this) through personalized APIs to help the allocation of resources and planning, but once Android starts to work, you are almost on an automatic pilot focused on AI.
Your phone uses AI to connect to a network. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G, you call it; The AI manages a good part of the connection and data transfer to your device and on the whole network or any other device to which you connect. Network optimization can be managed on the fly using predictive algorithms, allowing better and faster connections.
AI feeds the applications you use, the services they need to work, the battery that feeds them and securing. Google Play Services, the toolbox that allows most phones to run most applications, offers a neat utility called Let go inside Google Play services. It allows developers to easily integrate AI into applications without having to group an entire library inside their application, then keep it informed.
Google uses AI to feed Google Play Protect, which scans the applications downloaded on the Google Play Store to ensure that they do not break the rules or try nothing shadow.
The Play Store and your device operate in tandem, so that a “intelligent” system can keep your applications (and play services itself) up to date with functional and critical security fixes.
When you have your applications and use them, the battery and power management system uses AI to try to do things as well as possible, as long as they can, depending on what it is “learned” in the way you use your phone.
AI allows your phone to work as well as possible. Automatic learning manages system resources, ensuring that the right processor does the right things for optimal performance. The algorithms predict even when and how you perform a specific and pre-allocation task of the right resources at the right time, so it takes place without a hitch.
AI helps you use your phone to communicate. The automatic correction on your keyboard, visual voicemail, spam detection and text-text (and vice versa) are all fueled by an AI component so that they can better recognize what is correct compared to what is not and offer an improved experience.
Finally, and perhaps above all, AI monitors your phone to threaten a behavior, offering better security. Many are going behind the screen you look at. It could be easy to sneak something if the system did not monitor everything and nothing. Active detection of threats means that it does not need to know what they can know that something bad happens and can put an end to it.
Another thing
This is the AI that happens, whether you like it or not, because it is necessary for a modern version of Android and most operating systems. Really, it especially does an excellent job. If the phone you use today seems better than the phone you had five years ago, AI is much of the reason.
There is also one thing more dependent on AI that you probably do a lot and you never think: Use your camera.
Low light photos, moving photos and photos of children or dogs that run quickly are all made possible by AI, which decides what you think you’ll look good. On your phone, the camera system is simply running and captures light. You need “intelligent” software to determine which parts are what you want to see.
Even if you never open Gemini, ask Google a question or use software to create images of funny memes, you constantly use AI to do almost everything else.
Now we just have a more sophisticated label for all these intelligent machines. It is good, it is therefore good to use it. It works well, so it’s good to see it in place. Without that, we could also use two cans and a chain.
