From phones that can detect deepfake scams to autonomous intelligent vehicles, the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence took center stage as Mobile World Congress Shanghai kicked off Wednesday.

.The jampacked connectivity industry conference saw some of China's biggest companies gather to showcase their latest products and visions for an AI-driven future. Smart device brand Honor on Wednesday unveiled technology it said could detect deepfake scam calls and warn the phone's owner in real-time.

Deepfake scam calls where fraudsters manipulate images, sound or video of a real person as part of their con, have been flagged as a growing risk as generative AI use becomes more prevalent.
