Honor’s New On-Device AI Treats Myopia, Detects Fake Videos

Honor’s new on-device AI model treats myopia and detects fake videos within three seconds, according to the Chinese tech giant.

This groundbreaking technology was announced by the company during a Mobile World Congress in Shanghai.

Several takeaways from Honor’s keynote during the gathering were:

• the Artificial Intelligence will be in the device
• the AI treats transient myopia via alteration of the display
• this model of AI examines videos on a frame-by-frame basis
• Honor trained this AI tool with special dataset

The Artificial Intelligence Will Be In The Phone

George Zhao, CEO of Honor Device Co. LTD, said the following during the occasion:

“AI is revolutionizing our lives and driving the smartphone industry forward, but much of the industry has focused on cloud-based AI, which is just a part of the puzzle. On-device AI, which is run on smartphones that understand us better than any other devices, is uniquely positioned to deliver services that are tailored to us and our preferences.”

The possibility of using such powerful tools while offline is among the most interesting things said at the gathering.

Using the tool would not affect users’ data and may also demand less power than the traditional cloud-based models.

The Technology Treats Transient Myopia Via Alteration Of Display

Honor told the audience that the new on-device tool called the AI Defocus Eye Protection technology treated transient myopia by altering the display on a device’s screen.

While speaking, CEO George Zhao testified that the tool reduced transient myopia by an average of 13 degrees in users who read for 25 minutes. He added that a number of users reported a 75 degrees reduction.

Doctors usually treat transient myopia with lens that influence how people see things.

Because of the prevalence of phone-use, myopia has been on the increase, since people unknowingly cause it for themselves by looking at their phone screens for too long. Honor has found a way to treat this with AI.

This AI Model Examines Videos Frame-By-Frame

Honor’s new on-device AI detects fake videos apart from treating myopia, said Zhang.

Many fraudsters are going to hate Honor devices equipped with the ability to examine videos on a frame-by-frame basis.

Lots of AI-enabled fraud have taken place since the publicising of tools like Midjourney. It is expected that this new groundbreaking tech from Honor will reduce such species of fraud by a tangible margin.

Honor Trained This AI Tool With Special Dataset

“Send a thief to catch a thief” is an old saying which summarises Honor’s approach to detecting fake videos. The material used to train their AI was a collection of videos once used by malicious actors.

This means that altered videos or fake faces are likely to be identified by this AI in three minutes and exposed.

Among the things George Zhao said was, “At Honor, we believe on-device AI has the potential to empower users and become more capable in everything they do. We invite all industry players to join us as we explore the untapped potential of on-device AI.”

Many are expecting to see how well Honor’s new on-device AI treats myopia and detects fake videos, but only high-end phones might contain the tools for the time.
