Situation

Everyone is talking about AI. But even for IT professionals, it can be difficult to understand how the quickly advancing science can transform their businesses. Qualcomm is essential to powering the computing and AI capabilities of everything, from smartphones, to laptops, to cars and beyond. But because the technology is inside these devices, Qualcomm's critical role may not be fully understood.

Brief

While many are apprehensive about an AI future, the reality is AI improves our lives by complementing the things we do to make us faster, smarter, and more agile. At the forefront of this revolution, Qualcomm is transforming industries that impact our lives by enabling advancements in everyday products that are leading us to the edge of possible.

Objective

Position Qualcomm as a leader in on-device AI, gaining credit for what the company has achieved and offering BDM’s a look at the Qualcomm technology currently surrounding them.

AI has the power to change every facet of our world, and in fact, it already is. From the PC to the SUV, Qualcomm technologies are making amazing contributions to our lives. But showing AI at work in ways that are compelling and tangible required a unique approach. So we partnered with Academy Award winner, Michelle Yeoh, to show tech leaders how Qualcomm is transforming industries, as well as everyday life.

Michelle takes us through five key use cases, each illustrating the critical role Qualcomm plays in the way we work, live and communicate by using AI to enhance everyday technology. But this isn't your typical tech demo. Starring as herself, Michelle guides our BDM audience through tech stories that resonate and entertain, while injecting her wit, “Not everyone has what it takes to sit in the captain’s chair,” a wink to her role as starfleet captain on Star Trek.
