AI is transforming everything. We are making on-device AI ubiquitous.
Today, more intelligence is moving to end devices, and mobile is becoming the pervasive AI platform. Building on the smartphone foundation and the scale of mobile, Qualcomm envisions making AI ubiquitous—expanding beyond mobile and powering other end devices, machines, vehicles, and things. We are inventing, developing, and commercializing power-efficient on-device AI to make this a reality.
Creating new intuitive experiences and interactions.
AI enables devices and things to perceive, reason, and act intuitively. Drawing inspiration from the human brain, AI will expand our human abilities by serving as a natural extension of our senses. It will also personalize our experiences through seamless interactions in our everyday life.
Reshaping industries and creating new possibilities.
Gartner predicts that by 2021, AI augmentation will create $3.3 trillion of business value. On-device intelligence is a key part of achieving these benefits across industries. On-device AI processing offers many benefits, including user privacy, faster response, enhanced reliability, and efficient use of network bandwidth. The pace, scale, and high integration that drive the mobile industry will allow AI to scale to trillions of devices. The AI technology that we research and develop is fundamental across industries and products, spanning from smartphones and automotive to the IoT.
We are the R&D engine fueling the AI industry.
With over a decade of AI research and development, we are creating the essential components to scale AI across industries.
