From the selfie to the digital assistant .. How does your phone use artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is among the most exciting areas of technological development in recent years, as some investors, including businessman Teig Kohli who is interested in keeping pace with technological developments, expect the sector to reach $ 150 trillion by 2025.

Today, all leading devices are equipped with artificial intelligence chips, from the Apple Bionic A12 CPU to the Kirin 980 for Huawei or Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, the British magazine said.

Google Assistant Alexa and Siri
Perhaps the most obvious example of artificial intelligence in our phones is manifested in the voice assistant who learns how to accommodate our voice commands and then acts accordingly, such as telling us the weather, playing our favorite song, or writing an additional appointment in our timetable.

Companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon were keen to avoid classifying their services with artificial intelligence, so as not to scare users who fear their domination of their lives, but these services rely on machine learning to perform their job, i.e. understand what is required of them and apply their tasks accordingly.

service is probably the most advanced for any digital assistant, as it is able to make calls and interact with other people and companies on your behalf, in the framework of expanding the capabilities of Google Assistant tremendously.

Duplex simulates downtime during speeches such as "um ..." and "ah ..." for real people when calling other people or offshore companies, so they may never know they are in contact with an unreal person.

Learning about things and locations
Smartphone cameras have improved thanks to the development of sensors and pixels in recent years, but the biggest improvements in instantaneous shots recently were thanks to the artificial intelligence that analyzes the scene we photograph and processes the image accordingly.

The Huawei Mate Pro 10 was the first smartphone to introduce an image processing unit using artificial intelligence, which can analyze 13 different types of scenes and objects around us.

Recently, Google was satisfied with the artificial intelligence of image processing in Pixel 3 phones, as the sensors and lenses were not good enough like the ones on Apple and Samsung phones, but the result is generally better.

However, AI treatment cannot substitute for good digital cameras and photographic talent, but it goes a long way to ensuring that everyone has high-quality images that will garner the most number of likes on social media platforms.

Selfies are
still among the most common uses of phone cameras, so artificial intelligence is used to improve these images more than any other image.

The blurry background in the image may seem like a simple "feature", but in reality it requires a large amount of AI processing for your smartphone to locate your face, hair and background. When Google released this feature on the Pixel 2 phones in 2017, the search giant said it had verified the effectiveness of the AI ​​processor by training it in more than a million images.

Night shooting mode Shooting
in the dark has always been a major problem for smartphone cameras, but thanks to some artificial intelligence the latest smartphones can simulate the shutter speed by using multiple camera units to capture a full series of shots with different levels of exposure and combine the results into one image.

As technology continues to evolve, it is likely that technology companies will see AI enter a wide range of services.
