HONOR has just introduced AI Defocus Eye Protection and AI Deepfake Detection. The company claims that this is the industry’s first. This was introduced at MWC Shanghai, in case you were wondering.
HONOR has announced AI Defocus Eye Protection & AI Deepfake Detection features
The company did reach out in order to offer a bit more information on both of these. The AI Defocus Eye Protection tech is supposed to transform smartphone displays into ‘defocus glasses’ in order to provide vision relief for the first time.
HONOR says that this tech has been shown to decrease users’ transient myopia by “13 degrees on average after reading for 25 minutes, with some users experiencing a maximum reduction of 75 degrees”.
On the flip side, the AI Deepfake Detection authenticates users’ faces during video calls to make sure you’re not talking to a deepfake instead. This is a neat security feature, a useful one, considering the times we live in.
HONOR says that its AI Deepfake Detection has been trained through “a large dataset of videos and images related to online scams, “enabling the AI to perform identification, screening, and comparison within three seconds”.
The company’s CEO says that AI is “revolutionizing our lives”
George Zhao, the CEO of HONOR, said the following: AI is revolutionizing our lives and driving the smartphone industry forward, but much of the industry has focused on cloud-based AI, which is just a part of the puzzle. On-device AI, which is run on smartphones that understand us better than any other devices, is uniquely positioned to deliver services that are tailored to us and our preferences”.
Features like these are always useful to have, needless to say. They can benefit users, that’s the whole point of AI. HONOR has been utilizing AI in interesting ways already. It remains to be seen what we’ll get in the future.
We still don’t know when will these two AI features become available on the company’s phones. We also don’t know which phones will they be available on.
