I recently had the opportunity to check out what Qualcomm has been up to here in San Diego. Did you know that they have over 160,000 patents when it comes to running AI on your device? They are the dominant company building the chips to make that happen. Here's some of the demos they showed me. Detecting AI deepfakes by listening for generated audio Using face tracking as an input for your computer. Separating lyrics and instruments from your music Arkansas glasses that do audio translation in real time. Running generative art models and large language models. They even had a Star Trek style palm reader that can open doors doors for you. And that was just scratching the surface. The most interesting part is that Qualcomm's tech allows all of this to happen on device. Qualcomm is the current leader in making AI accessible to anybody that wants to use it. In fact, with their AI hub, you can optimize your own models or pick from one of the many models that they've already optimized for you. Qualcomm truly has become the leader in on device AI and I highly recommend you check out their AI hub over at aihub.qualcomm.com.
