Abstract:
Improved transparency and choice of privacy and security settings with Galaxy AI
Technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, and the degree of intelligence is increasing every moment. It is this rapid development that has enabled Galaxy AI to come into being and continue to drive productivity, creativity and communication to a higher level. However, with the increasing power of mobile AI, people have also created new concerns about privacy protection and autonomy.
Samsung is addressing these issues through two key initiatives. Firstly, it is integrating safeguards into the Galaxy AI experience to safeguard user data at the source. Secondly, it is using AI technology to strengthen the security and privacy protection system of mobile devices. Although these two measures play a key role in privacy and security, the development of data processing AI that can give users peace of mind is still the most urgent task.
Transparency and freedom of choice are the core principles that advance this mission, and they are also the advantages of Galaxy privacy settings, which are intuitive and easy to use. They help users understand what data is being used by AI in the process, how it is being processed, and the user's control over the process. At the same time, these protections also allow users to set the rules of the mobile experience and ensure information security while enjoying the convenience of technology.
Advanced settings for cutting-edge AI
In the Galaxy AI experience, this user choice is fully reflected. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into life, it is also natural for people to want more control over how their personal data is used in AI applications. To this end, Samsung has introduced Galaxy AI privacy protection measures, a comprehensive set of upgraded security policies and protection mechanisms to ensure that users are fully informed and protected when using Galaxy AI.
One of the ways to advocate user autonomy is to provide a powerful set of end-to-end AI tools, so that user data is always safely in the hands of users. Therefore, whether users are using communication tools that break down language barriers such as real-time call translation or simultaneous interpretation, or editing tools that expand creative boundaries such as audio erasers [1], all input content will be saved in the user's mobile phone. At the same time, these functions also run on the device side, providing not only a safe, reliable and responsive mobile experience, but also at the user's fingertips.
In addition to this, working in tandem with Galaxy AI's privacy protection mechanisms also allows users to have greater visibility and control over their data.
Since the launch of Galaxy AI, Samsung has maintained its commitment to "openness" and "user choice". Therefore, Samsung has combined powerful end-to-side AI with cloud AI to ensure a consistent application experience through a hybrid AI model, and to enable users to complete the most complex tasks with the full power of AI. For example, generative editing [2] functions, which can provide both end-to-side processing capabilities and call cloud AI to complete more diverse editing operations according to user requests.
At the same time, all of Galaxy AI's experiences are designed with the user's privacy in mind, even those that leverage remote servers. No matter whether the user is on the end-side or in the cloud, and which features or settings are selected, personal data is not stored for long-term or used for AI training. With intelligent service settings [3], users can manage their privacy with the tap of a button, and even choose how to handle personal information, including the option to turn off online processing of AI functions.
Privacy is without a doubt a key foundation of Galaxy AI, and as end-to-end AI capabilities continue to expand and more powerful setting options are added, user control is also becoming increasingly important.
Intuitive control, clear presentation
Not just AI-empowered features, but at the heart of any mobile experience is the need to make it easy and intuitive for users to choose privacy settings. Galaxy's privacy permissions dashboard is designed with a simple and easy-to-use interface to help users fully manage personal data privacy, such as viewing data permissions and how it is processed. This way, users can see at a glance whether it is viewing and updating app permissions, managing and sharing data, or identifying which data may be at risk through intuitive security status icons. Even through the permissions usage feature, users can view apps that may have accessed personal data recently.
It is with this unique cross-scene high-transparency backend for Galaxy that it is easier than ever for users to see how all Galaxy experiences are built with security and features based on user preferences.
Another core feature of Galaxy's privacy settings is the auto-blocker, which allows users to keep their mobile devices secure while maintaining ease of operation. The auto-blocker detects malicious software and other security threats while blocking malicious behavior, such as preventing unauthorized app installations, blocking requests and updates from USB, or defending against zero-click attacks with message protection.
For users who want a stronger cyber security line against today's cyber threats, Maximum Limit Mode brings additional protection features. These features can give users more control, such as blocking 2G network services, preventing data from being intercepted when connected to insecure networks, and preventing devices from accidentally automatically reconnecting to some less secure Wi-Fi networks.
With the Samsung Knox protection mechanism and easy-to-understand privacy settings, users' personal data can be used for sharing or completely retained on the device, at the user's discretion. Looking to the future, Samsung will further advance the development of AI security technology to make privacy protection more intelligent, more compatible, and more natural experience. With the continuous development of AI, Samsung will strive to build a security experience with transparency and user autonomy at the core, both now and in the future.
Note:
[1] Audio Eraser results for each video may vary depending on how the sound is presented in the video. Login to Samsung account is required. Can detect voice, music, wind, nature, crowd and noise. On the playback interface of album, Mobile Pentium 4, recorder, notes, call transcription, click the Audio Eraser function button to reduce background noise with one click. Actual sound detection may vary depending on audio source and video conditions. Accuracy of results cannot be fully guaranteed.
[2] Photo Assistant's generative editing function requires a network connection and a Samsung account login. The edited image can reach a maximum of 12 MP and will be covered with a visible watermark, indicating that the image was generated by AI. The accuracy and reliability of the generated image cannot be fully guaranteed.
[3] Availability may vary by region/country, operating system/Samsung One UI version, device model, and phone carrier.
