Camera phone technology has progressed at warp speed over the past decade or so – and it seems that Samsung is due to take the next step forward. According to new reports, Samsung has partnered with software company Synopsys to create an AI tool named DSO.ai. This software is reportedly designed to accelerate how camera phone chips are developed by discovering new designs that humans might not have ever thought of.
