LAHAINA, Hawaii—AI is everywhere at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, including the actual air! Sort of. The company had a number of AI technology demos on hand, and the one that caught my ear involved silence. We're all familiar with how noise-cancelling headphones work. They use embedded mics to capture ambient sound, then process it with algorithms to generate an inverse sound wave that cancels it out. They function the same way whether you're listening to music or making phone calls. In the latter case, the headphones use the inverse wave to cancel out the surrounding din so you and your caller don't hear it. The result depends somewhat on the strength of the manufacturer's algorithms; some are better at it than others.
