#HONOR a global technology brand, unveiled two groundbreaking on-device AI innovations aimed at enhancing user safety and empowerment at MWC Shanghai 2024. In its keynote titled “The Human-AI Synergy: Intelligent Devices Will Empower People Better,” HONOR highlighted its latest strides in human-centric AI, namely AI Defocus Eye Protection and AI Deepfake Detection. The brand reiterated its commitment to human-centric on-device AI, emphasizing the potential of AI-enabled hardware to deliver personalized services while safeguarding user privacy.
From Preventive to Therapeutic Eye Protection Technology
HONOR introduced its latest innovation in eye-protection technology, AI Defocus Eye Protection, at MWC Shanghai. This technology uses AI to emulate defocus glasses on the device’s display, addressing the global rise in nearsightedness due to prolonged screen usage.
Defocus glasses, known for promoting eye health, intentionally induce controlled defocus in the user’s peripheral visual field to help preserve clear central vision. This effect alters visual perception, slowing down the eye elongation process that leads to nearsightedness. HONOR’s AI Defocus Eye Protection takes eye protection a step further by offering a solution that can alleviate symptoms for consumers. It has been shown to reduce users’ transient myopia by an average of 13 degrees after 25 minutes of reading, with some users experiencing a maximum reduction of 75 degrees.
Fraud Mitigation with AI Deepfake Detection
To counter the risks posed by cloud-based “deepfake” AI technology, HONOR introduced AI Deepfake Detection. This feature helps prevent fraud and detect digitally manipulated content by analyzing frame-by-frame information such as eye contact, lighting, image clarity, and video playback to identify imperfections that are invisible to the human eye.
Furthermore, AI Deepfake Detection has been trained on a large dataset of videos and images related to online scams, enabling the AI to identify, screen, and compare within three seconds. If the feature detects synthetic or altered content, it immediately issues a risk warning to the user, discouraging them from further interaction with potential scammers for their safety.
