Instead of using your smartphone to research recommended spots, you talk to your digital assistant who manages to get it done, across various apps, and sends you a booking confirmation.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:100%\" class=\"lazyload-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<p>This is the new world of AI agents across new types of gadgets envisioned by Cristiano Amon, the CEO of <span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"SpecialReportArticle-QuoteInBody-1\">Qualcomm<span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span>, a chip company that lives at the heart of many consumer devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The example I provided involves the use of several apps like a restaurant booking app, payment service and email for the confirmation. An agent will be to coordinate across all of these, Amon told me on The Tech Download podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Apps are &#8220;not dead,&#8221; he said \u2014 &#8220;but apps are going to change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those agents are going to be the new app,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-imageEmbed\" id=\"ArticleBody-InlineImage-108248974\" data-test=\"InlineImage\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-imagePlaceholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:55.55555555555556%\">\n<div style=\"height:100%\" class=\"lazyload-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-imageEmbedCaption\">Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm, speaks before a Siemens keynote at CES 2026, an annual consumer electronics trade show, in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. Jan. 6, 2026. <\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-imageEmbedCredit\">Steve Marcus | Reuters<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>I&#8217;ve spoken to Amon over the years about the changing nature of our smartphones which have become more advanced, as they can now fold and feature very powerful cameras.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:100%\" class=\"lazyload-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<p>While many companies have attempted to create digital assistants \u2014 from <span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"SpecialReportArticle-QuoteInBody-3\">Apple<span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span> with Siri to Samsung with Bixby \u2014 they&#8217;ve yet to fully live up to their promise. With ever advancing AI models, these digital assistants are now getting more capable.<\/p>\n<p>That also means the devices that power our digital lives can change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0&#8220;The phone is around the agent. The new classes of devices &#8230; are going to be around the agent as well,&#8221; Amon told me.<\/p>\n<p>These shifts could also spark a new wave of devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amon said Qualcomm is working on over 40 different designs of AI gadgets. These include jewelry, earbuds with cameras, pins and watches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The principle is something that you wear, something [that] is with you all the time, something that can see the world around you, so you have context and have the ability for you to access an agent and talk to the agent,&#8221; Amon said.<\/p>\n<p>But for now, he&#8217;s most bullish on smart glasses and expects they could eventually be as big as the smartphone. For context, there were more than 1.2 billion smartphones shipped last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m excited to see how the agentic experience on consumer devices evolves. The potential use cases are vast, but the success might depend on striking the right balance between privacy and functionality. As agents become more pervasive, privacy concerns will be key.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also curious about what this will mean for the broader device landscape and whether the dominance of Apple and Samsung gets challenged or whether these companies will lead the wave of new AI gadgets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-subtitle\">Latest updates<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p><strong>CEOs of Anthropic and <\/strong><span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"SpecialReportArticle-QuoteInBody-4\"><strong>Google<\/strong><span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span><strong> DeepMind called for a U.S.-led coalition<\/strong> to shape rules and standards around artificial intelligence at a G7 meeting with tech leaders and heads of state, including President Donald Trump, sources told CNBC.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"SpecialReportArticle-QuoteInBody-6\"><strong>Intel&#8217;s<\/strong><span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span><strong> stock surged after U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong> said the company will partner with Apple on U.S. chip design.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"SpecialReportArticle-QuoteInBody-8\"><strong>Nvidia<\/strong><span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span><strong> is aiming to raise at least $20 billion in debt,<\/strong> according to sources with knowledge of the matter, in the chipmaker&#8217;s first bond sale since the start of the AI boom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Waymo is recalling almost 3,900 robotaxis in the U.S.<\/strong> to fix software issues after some cars drove into freeway construction zones, according to notices filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yann LeCun, founder of AMI Labs, told CNBC that Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI is a &#8220;failure&#8221;<\/strong> that will be unable to compete on the frontier of artificial intelligence, as he laid out his view on what could cause a &#8220;big bubble explosion&#8221;
