Powering the Connected Intelligent Edge and the Future of On-Device AI

Qualcomm is leading the realization of the “connected intelligent edge,” where the convergence of wireless connectivity, efficient computing and distributed AI will power the devices and experiences that you deserve. In this talk, we’ll explore some of the key challenges in deploying AI across diverse edge products in markets including mobile, automotive, XR, IoT, robotics and PCs — and some of the important differences in the AI requirements of these applications. We will also identify unique AI features that will be needed as physical and digital spaces converge in what is now called the “metaverse”. We will highlight key AI technologies offered within Qualcomm products, and how we connect them together to enable the connected intelligent edge. Finally, we’ll share our vision of the future of on-device AI — including on-device learning, efficient models, state-of-the-art quantization, and how Qualcomm plans to make this vision a reality.
