Global technology brand Honor has introduced two revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on devices to enhance user safety and well-being.
At the MWC Shanghai 2024 opening session titled “Human-AI Synergy: Smart Devices Will Empower People,” Honor underscored its commitment to human-centric AI with the launch of AI Defocus Eye Protection and AI Deepfake Detection.
In response to the rise in myopia related to prolonged screen use, Honor introduced its AI Defocus Eye Protection technology, which mimics the effect of defocus glasses directly on a device’s screen. The defocus glasses create a controlled blur in peripheral vision, helping to maintain clear central vision and slow the progression of myopia.
Honor’s built-in AI solution takes this concept a step further. AI Defocus Eye Protection technology is shown to reduce transient myopia by an average of 13 degrees after 25 minutes of reading, with some users seeing reductions of up to 75 degrees. This marks a significant shift from simply preventing eye strain to actively relieving it.
Fighting digital fraud with AI
Honor also unveiled its AI Deepfake Detection tool, designed to address growing concerns about deepfake technology. This AI tool analyzes visual details such as eye movements, lighting consistency, and video playback to identify potential deepfakes that could evade human detection.
The AI deepfake detection system has been rigorously trained on large datasets of digitally altered content and images of online scams. It can flag suspicious content within three seconds, alerting users to potential fraud. This rapid response feature aims to protect users from interacting with misleading or harmful content online.
During its opening keynote, Honor reiterated its commitment to privacy and the potential of AI-enabled devices. These new technologies exemplify Honor’s vision to enhance user safety and health through innovative AI solutions.
