4 smartphones with artificial intelligence to look out for in 2018

-
AI on smartphones is one of the big trends to look out for in 2018. 


While AI has numerous uses, on a handheld device, the benefits will be limited initially.

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

 User behavior
An AI system is designed to learn and adapt as it is used over time. On a smartphone, the AI will learn your usage pattern and start applying it on a day to day basis. You might be switching to silent when reaching office, switching on Bluetooth at home or closing background apps every few hours. AI will identify these patterns and automate these daily processes for you over time. 

 Improved security
Apple iPhone X uses an AI based algorithm for its Face ID device unlocking system. Combined with Apple’s elaborate hardware, the AI system works to identify user’s face for security. Using AI processing, the iPhone X can identify face with changes such as spectacles or beard over time. Huawei has demoed its face recognition tech which they claim is superior to Apple’s.

 Voice assistants
Voice Assistants have been around for some time now. Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana and Alexa are all Voice Assistants that use 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 performe tasks such as placing an online order, searching a particular song and typing a message.  

 Samsung S8/S8 Plus/Note 8
Samsung introduced its AI-powered assistant Bixby on its flagship devices and has been continuously improving it. Bixby learns from the user’s behavior and allows rich communication with the device. It can work with compatible apps on the device for enhanced functionality.  







Honor View 10
The View 10 has the company’s latest Kirin 970 processor that has a dedicated NeuralNetwork Processing Unit (NPU). Thanks to the NPU, the Honor View 10 is currently the only phone capable of delivering all of the benefits mentioned above — secure face unlock, camera benefits, translations, enhanced automation and voice as








Apple IPhone X
iPhone X is powered by Apple’s latest A11 Bionic chipset which has a Neural Engine for machine learning and AI processing. The neural engine enables the iPhone X to have a facial recognition system (Face ID) which is more secure than a fingerprint scanner and offers improved voice recognition for Siri. 










Google Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL
Google worked with Intel to develop the Pixel Visual Core co-processor for AI processing that comes in the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. This co-processor enables the superior imaging capabilities from the Pixel 2 device’s cameras and even helps the Google Assistant understand the user commands/questions better.

The future of Artificial Intelligence: 6 ways it will impact everyday life

Technology moves at breakneck speed, and we now have more power in our pockets than we had in our homes in the 1990s. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a fascinating concept of science fiction for decades, but many researchers think we’re finally getting close to making AI a reality.  NPR notes that in the last few years, scientists have made breakthroughs in “machine learning,” using neural networks, which mimic the processes of real neurons. This is a type of “deep learning” that allows machines to process information for themselves on a very sophisticated level, allowing them to perform complex functions like facial recognition. Big data is speeding up the AI development process, and we may be seeing more integration of AI technology in our everyday lives relatively soon. While much of this technology is still fairly rudimentary at the moment, we can expect sophisticated AI to one day significantly impact our everyday lives. Here are 6 ways AI might affect us in the futu

HOW TO INCLUDE three.js IN YOUR PROJECTS There are quite a few different ways to include three.js in your JavaScript application, some of them simple, some of them a little more complex, however, they all boil down to one simple idea: you need to include one (and  only one) of these three files in your project: three.js three.min.js three.module.js You can view them all  on the three.js GitHub repo , which we’ll explore in the next chapter. Each of these files a version of the three.js core, meaning that once you’ve included one of them in your application, you are all ready to get started in creating beautiful 3D scenes. There are two main ways to include these files in your project: include them in a  script tag  in your HTML import them directly into your JavaScript files. We’ll explore how to do in Section Two What’s the Difference Between these Files? The  three.js  file is intended to be included in a  <script>  tag in your  index.html  file, like s
