Honor CEO George Zhao emphasizes the importance of protecting user data in AI operations during an interview with CNBC. Honor unveils new AI tools at the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai, focusing on detecting deepfakes in videos and reducing myopia during screen usage.

Apple plans to roll out personalized AI tools in the U.S. this fall. The company uses on-device processing and “Private Cloud Compute” to ensure user data privacy. Honor’s AI operations are on-device and self-developed, emphasizing data security and privacy protection.

Zhao highlights the potential of on-device AI to empower consumers and provide more intimate interactions with AI tools. Honor’s Magic V2 foldable smartphone wins the “Best Smartphone in Asia Award” at the Shanghai MWC. The company is set to release the Magic V3 with new AI functions in July.

In a technology-driven world, protecting user data and balancing AI capabilities with energy usage pose significant challenges for manufacturers. Zhao believes mobile devices should empower individuals and not overpower them. As the industry evolves, Honor continues to strive for innovation and consumer-centric products.
