George Zhao, CEO of the global technology company, spoke to ‘Euronews’ following the announcement and explained how its human-centric AI, ‘AI Defocus Eye Protection’ and ‘AI Deepfake Detection’, have helped the company become one of the most advanced.
“Taking eye protection from prevention to creating technology that can lead to relief for consumers, Honor’s ‘AI Defocus Eye Protection’ has been shown to decrease users’ transient myopia by 13 degrees on average after reading for 25 minutes, with some users experiencing a maximum reduction of 75 degrees“
As for mitigating the risks of so-called ‘deepfakes’, Zhao explained how the technology company has introduced the detection of ‘deepfakes’ using AI. “To help prevent fraud and detect digitally manipulated content, ‘AI Deepfake Detection’ examines frame-by-frame information, such as eye contact, lighting, image clarity, and video playback, to identify faults that are imperceptible to the human eye.”
In parallel with the opening of MWC Shanghai, the GSMA published a call for collaboration between governments and industry to support the full development of 6 GHz for mobile“in order to ensure the delivery of a spectrum roadmap to mobile operators and establish clear deadlines for equipment and phones to be ready.”
