Google’s Android P is using AI to tweak your phone’s battery life
Adaptive Battery adjusts the battery usage dependent on how a smartphone owner uses his device and accesses apps at differing times

MANILA, Philippines – Google at its Google I/O keynote on Wednesday, May 9, announced an impressive new bit of tech called Adaptive Battery, in which artificial intelligence will play a part in keeping your phone on for longer.

Adaptive Battery uses on-device machine learning to adjust the battery usage dependent on how a smartphone owner uses his device and accesses apps at differing times.

Specifically, it’ll automatically shut down applications you don’t use often and will spend battery life on the apps that you generally use.

Google adds it’s seen an average of a 30% reduction in CPU usage when it comes to waking up apps.

Google’s Developer Preview for Android P is available now via https://developer.android.com/preview/. – Rappler.com
