In today’s episode, we sit down with Ganesh Swaminathan, VP and GM at Qualcomm, to discuss how Wi-Fi is evolving beyond simple connectivity into the foundation of intelligent, adaptive experiences. As artificial intelligence moves onto devices and into everyday environments, a new category is emerging: agentic AI — systems that can perceive context, make decisions, and act on behalf of users — requiring networks to become responsive rather than passive infrastructure. Martha and Ganesh explore why some technology leaders believe “AI is the new UI,” and how on-device and edge AI enable faster, more private, and more personalized interactions. They also examine how Wi-Fi 7 and the forthcoming Wi-Fi 8 support real-time responsiveness, allowing networks to prioritize traffic, sense activity, and adjust automatically. Tune in to learn how AI and Wi-Fi are shaping modern digital experiences.For Wi-Fi AllianceFor Membership InfoGeneral Contact
