When will smartphones be intelligent

When will smartphones be intelligent? Many tech businesses these days are investing heavily in developing artificial intelligence, and with good reason. Artificial intelligence can potentially evolve much more quickly than human intelligence and therefore find solutions to problems much more efficiently. We’re not quite there yet though.  In fact it may be a few decades before we get any artificial intelligent constructs that can match the general intelligence of humans… well, some humans.  Right now we’ve got some basic constructs performing narrow intelligence tasks.  Which is to say, they can solve very specific problems. If/Then Rules For most of the age of computers, calculations were solved using rules that were pre-programmed into the computer. We started with basic math, then moved up from there.

But, is it really worth constantly deleting what’s stored in the memory? We found that it isn’t. Android has its own integrated mechanisms that are able to...

A couple of features may include the ability to take scrolling screenshots like on web pages for easier capture of more content. However, another potential feature is the ability to record video in longer than 4GB segments. We’ll learn more about Android 11 later this year but it’s nice to see Google fixing some basic problems and adding some fun features already.
