4 Ways AI is Shaping Mobile Technology
The
mobile applications and services we use today are enormously revolutionized because of AI and ML. Companies are buckling up to embrace even more advanced versions of AI-powered tools and software to transform mobile technology in the future.
Let’s look at how
AI is shaping mobile technology for the betterment of every life worldwide.
Augmented Reality in AI Phones
Have you ever used Apple’s Animoji feature? iPhone machine learning allows users to send custom animated messages that reflect their facial expressions using their voices. The CoolLens on Snapchat also offers such a feature.
AI is the primary contributor to AR experiences in smartphones. It is powered by targeted AI processors that are also known as Neural Processing Engines.
Increased Security Through Facial Recognition
Do you use facial recognition features to get into your smartphone or use specific apps that support the same feature? Well, AI is behind this technology. Modern-day AI phones use images from the device’s camera to enable facial recognition. For example, the True Depth technology in iPhones creates three-dimensional images of users’ faces and allows the usage of phones and several apps. In addition, the AI and ML algorithms in cameras can identify the user's face even if they have put on makeup, grown facial hair, or worn glasses.
AI-Powered Camera
Who doesn’t like taking selfies nowadays? Or who can resist capturing the jaw-dropping natural views using the panorama features on their phones? Today, most high-end mobile phones offer AI-powered cameras that can analyze if you are taking a picture of a person or an object. They can also make your photos look even better. AI enables such cameras to pick the right lens for your next click based on the light conditions.

Mobile AI adds more value to consumers worldwide and offers endless possibilities for mobile technology in the future. Moreover, AI will enable marketers to generate more profit and take customer satisfaction to the next level. To put it simply, AI is one of the most crucial factors for businesses to become more enriching, successful, and valuable.
“The gradual platformization of AI is very interesting to me. The efforts by Google, Amazon, Salesforce — they’re bringing AI down to a level of not needing to be an expert to use it. … I think the day that any good software engineer can program AI will be the day it really proliferates.”
