Los smartphones with artificial intelligence They are advancing by giant steps. Among photos that are published alone, translations in real time and assistants who understand what you say better than your boss, it seems that the future has arrived.

But in the midst of all these achievements, There is a part of the experience that has not evolved as much as it should: notifications. Yes, those small constant interruptions that, even with AI, remain a headache for many users.
when AI tries to help you … and it complicates your life
In theory, the idea was brilliant: Use AI to help you filter the important and stop being a slave to constant alert bombardment. Android and iOS introduced systems such as Scheduled summary or the priority notifications To achieve exactly that.
But in practice, the result has been mixed. Many times AI ends up prioritizing irrelevant alerts “As a comment on an old publication,” and hiding really important things As messages of work or lost calls.
A context problem (which AI does not yet understand)
The great dilemma is that the context matters … and much. Your phone does not know that you are waiting for a specific message or that an email of a certain sender cannot wait. And although I should learn over time, most current systems seem to be playing to guess.
Worse, when they are wrong, There is no clear way to correct them Or know why they made that decision first.
The productivity paradox: less control, more distraction
Intelligent notifications should make our lives easier. But When they fail, they force us to review the apps one by one, to doubt the summariesand even to worry about having lost something urgent. Ironically, instead of helping us focus, they end up distracting us more.
That is the great paradox: The smarter the system is, the more time we spend fixing its mistakes.
What can improve?
Not everything is negative. Some simple functions, such as previous views of messages or emails, work very well. But Intelligent summaries still need fine adjustment.
More granular control (such as marking certain contacts or apps such as “always notify”), better calendar use, time of day or location, and A healthy transparency dose could change the rules of the game.

Because if your phone already knows what kind of photos you like, At least I should know that a message from your mother is more urgent than the last update of a Sudoku app. No?
