I’ve been hearing a lot about AI in mobile phones lately, and I’m kind of confused about how it’s different from the usual smart features that Android phones already have. Like, I know Android has stuff like Google Assistant, face unlock, and all those smart options, but then there’s this “AI” term being thrown around everywhere. What’s the actual difference? Is it just a fancy name for features we’ve been using, or does it really add something new? I’m not super tech savvy, so if you guys could explain it in simple terms or share your thoughts, that’d be great. Maybe even some examples of AI in phones?
The features you listed are relatively small amounts of data that are easily processed on your phone locally. AI is when they gather all of that data from individuals and store it centrally on their servers. They sell this to you as better and more advanced capabilities, due to more data, which is possible in some cases. But the reality is they want to now gather all this data because you are creating it, an actual human. That data is currently the most valuable digital resource because its required to train artificial intelligence.
