       Honor was among the global tech companies that gathered in Shanghai in
       China last week for GSMA Mobile World Congress (MWC) to showcase its
       latest mobile offerings. Euronews spoke to the group's CEO George Zhao
       at the event to hear more about its focus on AI.

       The global smartphone technology company's chief executive officer,
       George Zhao, spoke to Euronews after Honor's Magic V2 phone device won
       the "best smartphone in Asia" award at the expo. He talked about the
       company's innovations, including its AI Defocus Eye Protection
       offering, which is a type of glass that reduces eye strain.
        
       "Taking eye protection from prevention to creating technology that can
       lead to relief for consumers, Honor's AI Defocus Eye Protection has
       been shown to decrease users' transient myopia by 13 degrees on
       average after reading for 25 minutes, with some users experiencing a
       maximum reduction of 75 degrees," he said.
        
       ##  **Mitigating AI deepfakes**
        
       On mitigating deepfakes, George Zhao further explained how the tech
       company has introduced AI Deepfake Detection that can combat online
       misinformation by identifying and potentially flagging manipulated
       videos.
        
       "To help prevent fraud and detect digitally manipulated content, AI
       Deepfake Detection examines frame-by-frame information such as eye
       contact, lighting, image clarity, and video playback to identify flaws
       that are imperceptible to the human eyes," he added.
        
       Honor said the cloud-based deepfake detection software uses
       sophisticated algorithms to analyse key parameters such as eye
       contact, image clarity and video playback to detect manipulated
       images.
        
       "Typically, you know, AI is so powerful, with the deepfakes, with the
       cloud AI, maybe in one second in front of the camera, you can change
       our face…but with the on-device AI we can detect the deepfake AI face
       changes. So we can protect the people. This is the future of on-device
       AI capabilities," George Zhao told Euronews' Angela Barnes.
