MNA Science & Tech Desk: Chinese electronics giant Huawei on Saturday unveiled its first mobile personal assistant with artificial intelligence in Berlin, in hopes it will rival the dominance of Samsung’s Bixby and Apple’s Siri.
Internet giants have been investing heavily in creating software to help machines think more like people, ideally acting as virtual assistants who get to know users and perhaps even anticipate needs.
And as smartphones and other electronic devices make greater use of artificial intelligence (AI), the digital assistants already pervasive in our lives are set to become more intuitive and play a bigger role in our homes, observers say.
But unlike its competitors’ virtual assistants, which collect and gather information in the internet cloud, the prowess of Huawei’s AI assistant lies in processing data on the smartphone, rather than in the cloud.
Yu did not offer details into what type of smartphones the chip will be installed in nor what price range those smartphones will fall into, reported news agency.
