Smartphone users are always on the lookout for how features such as screen size, memory capacity, and cool things like fingerprint recording and the likes are structured to function. A trendy smartphone these days must come equipped with an impressive camera, powerful battery, a notch screen (being a trend most users adore these days) and an AI-assisted system. This is a no-brainer.

It seems like artificial intelligence (A.I) has made its way to every smartphone in the market and is fast becoming a staple feature on devices around the world. Most high-end top of the range smartphones now has AI built in out of the box. But what does AI really mean?

Artificial Intelligence simply refers to the ability of a smartphone to perform impressive tasks such as – communication, learning, recognition and differentiation of objects, people and places through a set of automated algorithms—the user only needs to do one thing and the smartphone will handle the rest using a set of smart algorithms. Artificial Intelligence cuts across image recognition, identity features, amongst other things.

Although this might sound like a scene out of a sci-fi movie, I assure you that it is not, and is in fact, a reality.
