Master Ai can identify 23 types of dogs, it won’t tell you what type of dog it’s identified, but it will take the information that this type of dog will look better with this type of filter and know what setting the dog is in and apply the right filter to the background. This type of photo editing is usually only done by professional photographers, Huawei is using AI to achieve the same effects.
