Overview

In this unit, you will design intelligent mobile applications using AI-powered features such as predictive analytics, adaptive UI/UX, and natural language processing. You will integrate secure and scalable AI components using modern frameworks like TensorFlow Lite and ML Kit, and optimise performance for cross-platform delivery. Case studies provide real-world context to evaluate current trends in AI-enhanced mobile ecosystems. By the end of the unit, you will be able to develop scalable, secure, and intelligent mobile apps: preparing you for careers in mobile development, AI integration, or cross-platform systems engineering.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. Design AI-powered mobile applications using modern frameworks and AI-assisted development tools;
  2. Synthesise AI-driven features such as predictive analytics, natural language processing, and adaptive UI/UX in mobile applications;
  3. Compose AI-enhanced security mechanisms to protect mobile applications from emerging threats and vulnerabilities;
  4. Adapt mobile applications for performance, scalability, and cross-platform efficiency using AI-assisted techniques;
  5. Analyse AI-driven mobile technology trends through case studies of real-world applications individually and as part of a team.
