A conference was held in Shanghai yesterday to launch a commercial 5G-A pilot program. CEO Huawei and Wang Tao, Chairman of the ICT Infrastructure Management Committee, delivered a keynote speech at the conference. The representative shared three key changes in the combination of 5G-A and AI and predicted how the share of AI smartphones may change (or grow) in the future.

Wang Tao predicts that AI-powered smartphones will account for 11% of this year’s shipments. He added that this figure could reach 90 percent by 2030. From his speech, it seems that the integration of master and basic AI functions will become the standard for smartphones in a few years.

“We will soon see a huge increase in traffic from AI. At the same time, 5G-A networks can provide higher speed, lower latency and higher bandwidth to meet the network requirements of the artificial intelligence era,” said Wang Tao.

Currently, many flagship smartphones from various Chinese and foreign manufacturers, such as Huawei, OPPO, Samsung, Google and Apple, have integrated relatively lightweight, large-tongue models to perform certain tasks on the device, which provides various advantages. This makes advanced features more secure and does not require an internet connection.

For additional features, the phone communicates with a cloud server running larger LLMs. As LLMs become more efficient and chips become more powerful, companies will be able to run more features on the device; This will not only make the device more attractive to the user, but will also benefit manufacturers by reducing the operating costs of the device. cloud servers.

It is noteworthy that the latest company to enter the smartphone market with artificial intelligence is Apple. iOS 18, the company’s latest iOS release, comes with “Apple Intelligence” that adds new and exciting features to system apps and the Siri voice assistant.
