HONOR previews AI in smart devices at MWC

HONOR, Qualcomm, and GSMA recently came together at MWC Barcelona 2024 to discuss the importance of human-centered AI development and privacy protection in the tech industry. George Zhao, Managing Director of HONOR Device Co., Ltd., emphasized the company’s commitment to integrating AI into its devices to provide users with a delightful, human-centric experience.

One of HONOR’s recent achievements in device AI is the launch of MagicOS 8.0, which features platform-level AI and an Intent-Based User Interface (IUI). This new operating system also includes Magic Portal, a shortcut recommendation feature that allows users to seamlessly switch between apps with just a swipe.

Collaborating with Qualcomm, HONOR showcased the use of open-source Llama 2 on the new HONOR Magic6 Pro, highlighting the power of AI even when used offline. By fostering open collaboration and inviting global partners like Qualcomm and GSMA, HONOR is leading the way in creating AI experiences on devices that benefit consumers.

AI technology is making its way from the cloud to personal devices, enabling devices like smartphones and PCs to leverage on-device AI capabilities. With the integration of AI into MagicOS and the introduction of an Intent-based UI, HONOR is providing users with a cross-device, AI-powered ecosystem that anticipates their needs and provides tailored experiences.

Security is a top priority for HONOR in AI development, with a focus on privacy, fairness, accountability, and reliability. The company’s MagicGuard technology and privacy certifications ensure that user data is protected and secure. Looking towards the future, HONOR and GSMA released a white paper on “6G Terminal Vision” at MWC, outlining the potential of a human-centered, intelligent world powered by AI and 6G technology.

As a global leader in smart devices, HONOR is dedicated to developing technologies that empower people worldwide. With a range of innovative products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearables, HONOR continues to create a new intelligent world for everyone.
