Ken
Hyers, Director at Strategy Analytics (News - Alert), notes, "A smartphone equipped
with on-device AI can perform key tasks more efficiently. On-device AI
can perform tasks such as taking pictures with sharper images and better
videos, improve communication and better sense surroundings, making
smartphones of the future more useful tools for users."
On-device AI is powered by physical silicon cores such as Huawei's (News - Alert)
Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and software frameworks such as Qualcomm
Neural Processing Engine (NPE) that use algorithms to offload AI
computation to several processors (CPU, GPU and DSP). "Due their greater
capability to handle complex AI computations, physical AI cores make up
the majority of on-device AI smartphone volumes with over 95% share of
on-device AI processing solutions," says Ville-Petteri Ukonaho.
Upcoming technologies such as 5G will greatly benefit from the new
capabilities improved by AI and vice versa. The report Smartphones:
Global Artificial Intelligence Technologies Forecast: 2010 to 2023
is available to Strategy
Analytics clients of our Emerging
Devices Technologies research service. The report tracks and
forecasts smartphone sales by main Artificial Intelligence technologies
globally and across six regions.
