Honor: $10 billion for human-centered AI revolution

Full of news. This is how Honor arrived in Barcelona, the Chinese company that wants to go strong in an industry that is constantly and rapidly evolving, trying to adapt to a revolution called AI, which will also change our lifestyle. This is how Alpha Plan, Honor’s large-scale strategy by which the Shenzhen-based manufacturer will make “the ultimate leap to an AI device ecosystem” and user-centric approach, is presented, beginning with a $10 billion investment that will help them build the best catalogue of products that leverage technology and offer the most value possible from a leading company.

The name of this strategic plan is not accidental since the meaning of alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet, is merged with the Chinese word “human” (人) to symbolize people-centred innovation, also taking into account these two approaches, from East and West, in a global vision that Honor wants to promote. Thomas Bai, AI Product Expert at Honor, told us more about what’s new in products leveraging AI today.

Honor’s idea of investing $10 billion over the next five years is not in vain, as the Chinese manufacturer wants to be an important part of this coming technological revolution that will forever change the way we interact with technology and our devices. Honor, in fact, does not want to be alone in this great moment, encouraging all major players in the industry to join forces and resources to extract the most from artificial intelligence, always with humans at the centre of the equation. This involves transforming the industry into a truly open and connected environment, promoting seamless collaboration between different operating systems and creating an ecosystem of AI-based devices.

A cultural shift that will happen at a pace we cannot even imagine and, according to experts, even faster than the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. Honor shows full confidence in technological innovation, presenting itself at the forefront of embracing an open idea of healthy and sustainable AI evolution.
