Rumours: Nokia may be creating their own AI assistant

Not only we have seen Nokia coming out with their new smartphones (the Nokia 6 and the upcoming Nokia E1), a new report says that the company may be dabbling into the world of AI assistants. A new applied  trademark by the company may shed some clues on the company’s future plans in the mobile space.

The name ‘Viki’ has been trademarked by niokia, and it is said to be a chat-and-voice-based helper for the smartphone and the web. It is not confirmed, but it sounds suspiciously like what an AI assistant is supposed to do. No concrete details have been shared, but we may not even see any further news until the middle of the year.

Nokia seems readying to dabble into a market that is fast becoming crowded – of course this trademark may just be a branding exercise, so we may not even see an AI coming from Nokia for their HMD Global devices. Only time will tell, so stay tuned to TechNave.
