Apple's new high-end iPhone will make any traditional camera manufacturer tremble. The iPhone 11 Pro, unveiled at a special Apple event on Tuesday, not only has three cameras in the back--each having its own functions--but also for the first time utilizes artificial intelligence to take a photo. Yes, the next time you feel proud of snapping a perfect pic, it may have actually been the little robot living inside your phone. Here's how it works: On the iPhone 11 Pro, every time you are about to take a picture, the cameras will quickly take eight images of the object before you press the shutter. When you actually take a photo, the phone will compare your image against the eight previously taken ones and merge the best pixels of each image into one final product.

The camera is the eye for many automated devices and the computer is the brain -- but researchers at Stanford University recently combined the two in an attempt to make smart cameras more compact. A team of graduate students recently created an artificially intelligent camera that doesn't need a large, separate computer to process all the data -- because it's built into the optics itself. Current object recognition technology uses A.I. on a separate computer to run the images or footage through algorithms to identify objects. As the Stanford researchers explain, driverless cars have a large computer in the trunk in order to recognize when a pedestrian steps out in front of the car's path. Those computers are big, require lots of energy and are often slow.
