Qualcomm wants to bring 'brains' to smartphones, tablets Nov 20th 2013, 22:10, by Agam Shah, IDG News Service Qualcomm wants to make tablets and smartphones more perceptive by giving the devices a "silicon brain," company CEO Paul Jacobs said Wednesday. The company wants to load mobile devices with its Zeroth processor, which is being designed to mimic a human brain, Jacobs said, during a speech at the company's annual investor meeting in New York. The chip can learn human patterns and anticipate actions, which could make interaction with mobile devices easier. "This is the beginning of devices that are smart," Jacobs said. "It is a far-out research project, but it works." The Zeroth chip is designed around neural systems and mimics the brain's structure and operation through circuitry and algorithms.
