The next growth driver in the terminal market: Qualcomm is betting on “personal AI”

Qualcomm, with IDC, says "personal AI" will become the new paradigm for the device industry.

Phones, PCs, and glasses are being positioned as entry points to a single intelligent agent.

The model relies on device-edge-cloud computing, on-device knowledge graphs, continuous sensing, and hardware-level privacy protection.

As growth in traditional devices slows, competition is shifting from specs to AI experiences, continuity, and security.
