Qualcomm is developing more than 40 artificial intelligence-powered device designs spanning multiple wearable categories, according to CEO Cristiano Amon, who outlined the company's latest efforts to expand beyond smartphones as technology firms push deeper into connected consumer hardware.
The new designs include jewelry, watches, wearable pins and earbuds equipped with cameras, Amon said during an interview on CNBC's "The Tech Download" podcast. The devices are intended to remain with users throughout the day and provide access to software agents capable of handling tasks across different services and applications.
