## AI sound bubble demo
Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit featured an AI demo that creates a sound bubble around phones to silence external noise.

> The invisible bubble had a radius of about 5 feet for the purposes of the demonstration
## Silencing external noise
The phone stripped Bluetooth speaker sound from calls, making it inaudible on the other end despite 10 feet of distance.

> Despite the noise, his phone captured and transmitted only his voice
## Internal noise silence
The bubble also silenced extraneous noise from inside the bubble, like clapping right next to the phone.

> The staffer started clapping right next to the phone while he was speaking, and still, the only sound that came through was his voice
## Privacy potential
This technology could improve call quality and privacy in work environments where background noise shouldn't be heard.

> Consider how many times you've had to take a call in a space where it wasn't appropriate for your caller to hear background noise
## No shipping timeline
Qualcomm didn't specify when this technology would reach actual shipping devices.

> Qualcomm didn't say if or when this type of technology would reach actual shipping devices
## AI sound field
Qualcomm used AI to create a force field that blocks sound, a cool application for phone calls.

> How rad is that?
## Key takeaway

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor uses AI to create a sound bubble that silences external and internal noise during calls.
