Apple's been putting AI accelerators in phones for years. They use it for things like real time face recognition to help the camera decide where to focus.
The GPU can do the same task, but AFAIK it uses something like 20x more power.
I think it totally makes sense to have hardware accelerated AI even if only to free up the GPU for other tasks.
