I’m really curious about how AI works on our smartphones. Like, when I use features like face unlock, voice assistants, or those AI camera modes - what’s actually happening behind the scenes? Is it all happening on my phone or in the cloud? I’m not looking for super technical details, just want to understand the basics of how these AI features work on mobile devices. Any explanations would be appreciated!
You’re describing very different use cases. Face unlock isn’t AI. It’s just using biometrics to generate a very complex password. It should and can run locally, I wouldn’t trust any provider to actually keep it local though. Everything else you mentioned happens in the cloud. You need a good amount of processing power to generate the necessary output, which happens on server farms. Thats why Bezos is looking into nuclear reactors to feed his farms enough energy.
