What is artificial intelligence in a smartphone and how does it work?
The development of artificial intelligence systems (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/468) has become a trend in the last few years. This is especially evident in the case of smartphones - AI (artificial intelligence) is used to optimize various tasks.
How did AI appear on smartphones?
A simple program performs a task according to a specific algorithm written by a human. What if there are many such tasks or the initial data and conditions are constantly changing?
Man cannot process large amounts of data and write thousands of algorithms. For this reason, it is preferable that the inanimate machine perform this task.
The main thing is to set it up correctly so that it starts looking for the optimal solution on its own. This is exactly the reason why artificial intelligence and mechanized learning (mashinnoye obucheniye), which is a part of it, appeared. One of the algorithms of mechanized learning is neural networks.
Most of us have used artificial intelligence in smartphones. For example, unlocking the screen lock on the flagship smartphones (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/1042), creating a route taking into account traffic congestion through navigation applications (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/1004), in our gallery automatic sorting of photos such as nature or selfies (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/683), communication with a voice assistant (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/734) would all be impossible without intelligent algorithms.
Many of the tasks performed by artificial intelligence are remote: the request is sent to the server, processed, and the response returned.
Placing artificial intelligence directly into a smartphone has the following advantages:
speed - no need to spend time and traffic for data exchange;
security - all data is stored on the smartphone itself and there is no need to send it to third party services.
For this reason, the manufacturers have allocated a separate block inside the mobile processor for artificial intelligence - NPU (Neural Processing Unit, neural module). This is an accelerator of computerized learning algorithms, with which the smartphone performs tasks faster and requires less energy.
The first processor with an NPU (neuron module) was the Kirin 2017, released by Huawei in late 970. Many smartphone manufacturers today have a neural module in the processor of their devices. (Samsung Galaxy S10, S20 / 21, Note 10/20, Xiaomi Mi 10 5G / Mi 11)
In addition to the above, artificial intelligence algorithms are also used for these tasks: optimizing battery consumption, speeding up smartphone performance, improving sound quality, improving photos, text or voice recognition, and interpreter applications.
