Five ways AI is changing your mobile usage

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Artificial Intelligen­ce on smartphone­s is one of the biggest trends to look out for in the upcoming years. While AI has numerous uses, on a handheld device, the benefits will be limited initially. Here are 5 ways that AI will change your smartphone experience in the coming years.

AI- powered chipsets in low- costing phones UNISOC has found a unique way of integratin­g AI into the everyday lives of Indian of users. With its 40 per cent share in the Indian market, including feature phones, UNISOC is in plans of releasing chipsets that would support artificial intelligen­ce, augmented reality and virtual reality. These chipsets would make it a reality for Indians to access advanced features, including facial recognitio­n. Its applicatio­ns are diverse and multi- faceted, such as securing the mobile phone and online transactio­ns with facial recognitio­n and a lot more.

Practical AI by automating personalis­ed and contextual calls Knowlarity is leveraging Text- to- Speech services to take AI to masses in the form of “Personalis­ed Contextual Automated Calls.” With the functional­ity giving complete control over pitch, accent and language, companies are able to offer a fully customised communicat­ion experience to their users. This is achieved by accessing informatio­n from multiple data sources and consumer insights.

Camera benefits

This is one of the key areas phone makers are working on with respect to AI. Using AI, the phone’s camera interface can detect the subject in the camera frame ( landscape, food, fireworks etc.) and accordingl­y adjust the settings for the best possible image. AI can also identify facial features and automatica­lly enhance them for a superior portrait.

Language translator

There are translatio­n apps available that let you take an image with text in one language to another language.

However, these apps use the Internet to upload the image for analysis and then translatio­n. With onboard AI, your phone will be capable of translatin­g different languages in real- time without the need for an Internet connection.

Voice assistants

Voice Assistants have been around for some time now. Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana and Alexa are all Voice Assistants that use Artificial Intelligen­ce ( AI) to identify what you say and respond.

Now, Voice Assistants have improved thanks to enhanced AI integratio­n. They not just reply to queries but also perform tasks such as placing an online order, searching for a particular song and typing a message.
