AI smart hardware products are being released in quick succession, with companies accelerating exploration of diverse application scenarios.

A new wave of AI hardware launches is arriving. From smartphones and smart glasses to smart rings and maternal and infant care devices, AI hardware is accelerating into more consumer scenarios. Wu Zhige, assistant research vice president at IDC China, said in an interview with reporters that this concentrated wave of AI hardware launches stems from AI technology development driving continuous iterative upgrades of software, applications and scenarios, rapidly rising demand for on-device computing power, and factors including increasingly mature personal IT hardware technology, smartphones entering a stock market, and improving supply chain support, which have jointly created a window period for concentrated new product releases. However, at this stage, new products are still mainly focused on market trial and demand validation.
