Honor announced new AI technologies for instant recognition of dipfakes as well as vision protection against nearsightedness

At the ongoing Mobile World Congress event in Shanghai, Chinese smartphone maker Honor demonstrated its AI capabilities on supported devices. The company presented technologies to detect dipfakes and reduce eye fatigue from prolonged use of screens.

Here's What We Know

Honor has unveiled its new AI Defocus Eye Protection technology, which uses artificial intelligence to mimic the effect of defocus glasses right on the smartphone screen. This helps in reducing the elongation of the eye, which is the main cause of myopia, due to which it reduces temporary myopia by 13 degrees on an average after 25 minutes of reading, with some users experiencing a maximum reduction of 75 degrees.

The company has also developed an AI-based dipfake detection system aimed at preventing fraud and identifying digitally altered content. The system analyses the details of each frame such as eye contact, lighting and image clarity to detect flaws not visible to the naked eye.

Honor claims that their AI system, trained on a large number of fraud videos and images, can scan and compare content in just 3 seconds.

The company has yet to announce release dates and specific phone models that will support these two new AI features.
