Qualcomm survey unsurprisingly finds people want AI agents on their wearables

TL;DR Qualcomm surveyed 12,000 wearable owners and buyers across six markets about Personal AI. Around 70% want an AI agent that manages their devices and tasks. However, nearly 60% either want their wearable data kept private or want to approve it before it’s shared.

TL;DR Qualcomm surveyed 12,000 wearable owners and buyers across six markets about Personal AI. Around 70% want an AI agent that manages their devices and tasks. However, nearly 60% either want their wearable data kept private or want to approve it before it’s shared. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and while it’s most obvious on the smartphones we use every day, wearables with built-in AI are catching up quickly. In fact, Qualcomm thinks wearables will see the highest AI adoption among users in the coming years. However, as AI makes its way onto nearly every device we own, it also raises major privacy concerns. Qualcomm recently shared interesting results from a survey of more than 12,000 wearable users and potential buyers across six markets. According to the survey, nearly 60% of wearable owners use AI weekly. That number jumps to 70% for smart glasses owners.
