AI is coming and it will be hard to deny how it will be an essential part in the workplace — and for some companies, it's refined daily workflow for employees.
Executives for Google Research — the branch of the company that explores areas like machine learning, quantum AI, and science — shared with Business Insider how they use AI in their daily lives.
Google Research head of product and UX Katherine Chou said she uses Lens, Google's tool that uses image recognition to identify images. She said she used it to look up skin conditions and that the tool is useful for herself and her family members.
Maya Kulycky, Google Research's VP of strategy, operations, and outreach, also said she is "a huge fan of Lens." Kulycky said she recently saw a "beautiful Halloween graveyard entrance" in Chicago and used Lens to determine how much it would cost.
Vice President of Google Research, Yossi Matias, told BI some of his favorite tools allow listening to audio versions of articles or translating pages. He used the term "ambient intelligence" to describe AI that "just works" without being noticed.
"For me, the greatest progress is when we don't pay attention to where we're using it," Matias said, adding that's the "magic of technology."
However, even those leading tech giants have certain reservations about where they use AI.
Kulycky mentioned autocorrect and autocomplete as an area she sometimes thinks twice about. While she said she loves the tool, before accepting the suggested word, she'll ask herself if the word expresses what she means "better than the word" she originally planned to use.
