New technologies that are destined to revolutionize our way of life start as nice oddities that we can do without but gradually become essential and indispensable. The most banal example we have is the smartphone, which was initially seen as a tool for those who needed to be constantly reachable but has now become ubiquitous in our lives. Now, the focus is on Artificial Intelligence, which elicits mixed attitudes from the public due to fears of it taking over the world and wiping out humanity.
Whose responsibility is it to bring natural intelligence and artificial intelligence together? The smartphone is at the center of this challenge, being the tool through which people interact with AI. Arne Herkelmann, Head of Product Management at Oppo, explains that AI is already being used in smartphones for photo editing, network control, and other features that enhance user experience. Oppo ensures data privacy compliance and collaborates with other companies for AI features.
AI features in smartphones play a crucial role in daily life, from photo editing to system performance optimization. AI can make tasks more efficient and convenient for users. While concerns about data privacy exist, Oppo assures that they comply with European laws and do not collect unnecessary data. The goal is to democratize AI and make it accessible to more users to improve their daily lives.
AI adoption and appetite for AI features differ between Chinese and European users, with China being ahead in AI adoption. AI can be used to streamline various tasks, from summarizing articles to detecting fraudulent calls. The real challenge is bridging the technological gap between different regions and ensuring that AI benefits users worldwide. While AI may have playful features, the ultimate goal is to make AI a useful tool that enhances daily life.
