Huawei AT CES 2017 Keynote: CEO Richard Yu Discusses Intelligent Phone Concept

Huawei CEO Richard Yu spoke on the manufacturer's concept for mobile devices of the future at the CES 2017 keynote Thursday. Going beyond mobile devices already on the market, Yu suggested that smartphones, which incorporate in depth AI abilities, might be considered "intelligent phones." Such devices may incorporate computer vision, local decision-making, robotics, air sensors, taste sensors and smart touch to communicate with the world around it. "These AI based devices provide a connection between the digital world and the physical world," Yu said. As manufacturers such as Huawei continue to develop the internet of things, such intelligent phones may become an even more integral part of how mobile devices are used as a hub for connectivity between several other smart devices.
