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, along with cloud inference, is a key part of achieving these benefits across industries. On-device AI processing offers many benefits, including user privacy, immediacy, 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 power-efficient AI technology that we research and develop is fundamental across industries and products, spanning from smartphones and automotive to the IoT and data centers.

IoT

Making all the things around us more intelligent.

Mobile
