On a recent episode of Justine and Jenna’s Same Brain podcast, Adam King, VP and General Manager of MediaTek’s Personal Devices Business Unit, joined the conversation to unpack what’s next for generative AI, and how close to home it already is.

The discussion explores how AI is being built directly into everyday devices like smartphones, tablets, PCs, and smart home tech. Thanks to increasingly powerful chips designed for on-device AI, these products are becoming faster, smarter, and more personalized without relying solely on the cloud.

Adam also shares insights into what’s coming next, including the rise of agentic AI and the growing role of edge computing. Together, these technologies are shaping a future where devices don’t just respond to us, they anticipate our needs and work more seamlessly in the background.
