In the Deutsche Telekom booth at Mobile World Congress (MWC), I'm watching a generative Al tool construct a custom phone interface (界面) to help me book a flight in real time. It's breathtaking, and almost too much to take in -- but in a good way.
The technology, currently called the T Phone, is the combined efforts of the German carrier and San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company Brain. Al.
AI CEO Jerry Yue asks the device to book a flight from here in Barcelona to Los Angeles on March 12 for two people in first class. The phone pauses for a minute before pulling up a list of flights, arranged on the home screen orderly. Once Yue finds the best flight, he can pay for it using his mobile payment system of choice, without having to use another app or service.
A little more than a year on from the release of ChatGPT, the 2024 edition of MWC is all about the promise of Al. Beyond the hype (炒作), some of the mos interesting approaches involve integrating Al into devices and harnessing thei computing power to do exciting new thingssome of which are easier to comprehend than others.
The T Phone concept is this: Instead of a phone that's designed around apps, as we're accustomed to, this phone uses generative Al to create a natural-feeling back and forth that'll help you navigate a task, The device has an Al button on the side: that activates your Al assistant, which is waiting to spring into action and complete the task.
Is it now our destiny to live in an app-free world? Tim Hoettges, Deutsche Telekom's CEO, certainly thinks so. Speaking at MWC, he predicted the death of phone apps within the next five to 10 years. His reasoning? Al is going to kill them.
