Modern phones integrate artificial intelligence models into various applications, such as a tool that allows speech to be converted into written speech in real time during conferences, or another application that allows users to describe an image to artificial intelligence to determine its location in the phone’s photo gallery.
Technology and telecommunications companies are rolling out new products and features ahead of the annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, slated to kick off on Monday, in the hope that the hype generated by artificial intelligence will boost business prospects. However, many experts warn that generative AI raises legal or ethical concerns.
