Cristiano Amon says Qualcomm developing over 40 AI wearable designs
Qualcomm's CEO, Cristiano Amon, says the next big thing in tech is all about AI agents and smart wearables.
On CNBC's The Tech Download podcast, he shared that Qualcomm is working on more than 40 designs for AI-powered gadgets (think smart glasses, earbuds with cameras, and even high-tech jewelry) that are meant to blend right into your daily life.
Amon says wearables will handle tasks
Amon believes these new AI agents will go way beyond today's digital assistants. Instead of digging through apps, you'll just tell your wearable what you need—like planning a trip or checking your finances—and it'll handle the rest.
"The new classes of devices...are going to be around the agent," he explained.
If his vision comes true, our tech could feel a lot more natural and helpful — maybe making smartphones and apps less central than they are now.
