Qualcomm CEO says 6G-powered AI smart glasses will make everyone a camera
Qualcomm CEO and President Cristiano Amon discusses the company’s diversification beyond mobile chips, its entry into data centers, the demand for AI spending, outlook on agentic AI and more on ‘Mornings with Maria.’
The next era of mobile technology will turn everyday Americans into “walking cameras” as AI-powered smart glasses monitor everything they see and hear, according to Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon.
During an appearance on “Mornings with Maria,” Amon described a future in which ultra-fast 6G networks will allow smart glasses to stream information to AI models in real time. He said the shift could reshape both the technology industry and everyday life.
“6G is going to transform all of us into walking cameras because we have the ability to, everything that we see, send it to AI models that will interact with us and get intelligence right away,” Amon said Friday. “And that’s an exciting new device category.”

Qualcomm is known for creating technology inside devices such as smartphones, allowing them to connect to the internet. Earlier this week, Qualcomm announced its latest partnership with Meta to support the company’s rapidly growing computing needs.
Amon pointed to smart glasses as a key device for the future, saying they allow people to interact with technology close to their faces while AI processes what users see and hear.

“There’s a very interesting thing about glasses, and Meta is correct, and there’s many other companies investing in this,” he said.

“As we humans start to interact with the computers the way we interact with ourselves, glasses is a very important real estate because it’s close to our eyes, our ears, our mouth. And AI is [going to] see what we see, hear what we hear, read what we read. And then you have this intelligence very quickly.”

Meta, Google and Apple have all invested in developing their own smart glasses, with newer models incorporating artificial intelligence. On Tuesday, Meta announced a new line of lower-cost AI glasses powered by the company’s AI technology, Muse Spark.

Qualcomm has also expanded its focus into data centers and AI software. It introduced a new “Dragonfly C1000” central processing unit that it says Meta is using. The company also plans to acquire AI startup Modular.
“I was reading a lot of the analyst reports from Investor Day, and there’s one headline that really, I really liked it and it caught my attention. There’s a headline that said, ’This is not your father’s Qualcomm anymore,’” Amon said of the changes. “And I think that’s kind of the story of the company.”

The Tourism Authority of Thailand highlights the “Pay Like a Local” initiative, enhancing cross-border QR payments for tourists. This collaboration involves banks and payment partners, promoting convenience for international visitors.
Introduction to “Pay Like a Local”
Bangkok, 26 June 2026 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is emphasizing the country’s readiness for Cross-Border QR Payment in tourism under the “Pay Like a Local” initiative. This program aims to integrate merchant adoption with traveler awareness, facilitating digital payments for international visitors and presenting new opportunities for Thai businesses. It is a collaborative effort led by the Bank of Thailand, featuring eight notable banks and payment partners such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. The goal is to enhance the ease of QR payments at key tourist attractions across Thailand, with a focus on East Asian markets.
Enhancing the Tourism Experience
Mrs. Sirigesanong Trirattanasongpol, TAT Executive Director for the East Asia Region, highlighted the significance of adapting to changing traveler behavior in regions where mobile payments are prevalent. The Cross-Border QR Payment system is crucial for improving the visitor experience, allowing travelers to use familiar payment methods seamlessly. The initiative supports users from numerous countries, including China and South Korea, reducing cash reliance while providing secure transactions. It positions Thailand as a modern global destination catering to digital-savvy tourists.
Engaging Merchants and Expanding Services
To introduce this initiative effectively, a Merchant Activation Roadshow is underway at Asiatique The Riverfront in Bangkok. This event engages local businesses in embracing QR payments, offering insights, consultations, and registration opportunities. Participating merchants can benefit from promotions and learn about system integration. This follows a successful pilot in Udon Thani aimed at preparing local operators for an expected influx of Chinese tourists. TAT continues to promote broader adoption, aligning with Thailand’s vision of a cutting-edge tourism industry.
