Li Liang, the Vice President of Douyin Group, recently published an article delving into the topic of 'AI mobile phone assistants.' Taking the example of a ride-hailing situation, he clarified that the 'device owner' grants permission to the 'assistant' to access multiple apps and data sources to carry out tasks. This process, he emphasized, bears no resemblance to invasion, hacking, or privacy violations. Li Liang pointed out that this kind of scenario represents a typical application of AI technology. While its implementation may present challenges, he expressed confidence that it will ultimately be realized. Earlier, Li Liang had also introduced Douyin's proprietary 'Doubao Mobile Phone Assistant,' highlighting that all its actions are duly authorized by users. Moreover, the utilization of permissions is thoroughly detailed in the official privacy and security white paper, ensuring there are no instances of 'invasion' or 'unauthorized access'.
