AI Is The New UI: Qualcomm’s Bold Vision for How We Use Our Devices Could Lead to the Death of Apps
Qualcomm envisions a future where AI agents replace traditional apps, acting as personal assistants capable of managing tasks across devices, such as buying concert tickets while driving. The rise of these AI agents raises concerns about user privacy and the potential obsolescence of the app ecosystem, which has evolved significantly over the last decade. Despite Qualcomm's optimism regarding the capabilities of AI agents, skepticism remains about their widespread acceptance and the implications for app developers and users alike.
- This shift towards AI-centric interfaces challenges the established norms of app usage, potentially redefining how we interact with technology and what we expect from our devices.
- Will consumers accept a future where AI agents dominate their digital interactions, or will the desire for intuitive, visual interfaces prevail?
