Huawei today held a session where it talked about the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence in smartphones and how the company is looking to make the best use of that technology. The session saw James Lu, Director of AI product management at Huawei Consumer Business Group talking about the Chinese company's plans for its future smartphones and the use of AI in them. Last year, Huawei introduced the first AI processor called the Kirin 970 that featured a Neural Processing Unit(NPU). With it came upgrades to the ability to zoom further while not losing the clarity of the image, better integration of cloud-based and device based AI making the experience better. And now with the technology in hand to recognize and differentiate objects of hardware created by Huawei and using Tensorflow and Machine Learning, Huawei has come up with its own APIs that govern the Huawei Mobile AI.
