“There are some secret form factors that I cannot tell you about,” the Qualcomm CEO said in an interview with Fortune Editor in Chief Alyson Shontell on the Titans and Disruptors of Industry podcast. “But I think we’re working with pretty much all of them.”
“Pretty much all of them,” in this case, means the AI companies racing to build the device that replaces the smartphone. OpenAI, Meta, and others that Amon declined to name in an interview from the company’s San Diego headquarters. This device won’t be something you can hold; it’ll be “things you wear”: glasses, jewelry, pins, pendants. And it’ll center on the idea that the center of digital life will no longer be a phone but an autonomous agent.
Am I the only one that doesn’t have enough going on in their life that can be automated by agenetic AI? I mean, if I had an AI-powered robot that can do my cooking and cleaning that would be helpful, but other than that I just don’t have anything for it to do.
It would be great if new AI and robotics is used to grow food and make clothes from scratch to save a lot of money long term.
We’re waiting for clothes patents on robots to expire just like 3d printing patents expired. Only then will we see a boom.
