Asus Halts New Smartphone Development to Pivot Toward AI and Robotics
Asus is winding down new smartphone development as it redirects resources toward AI computing, robotics, and physical AI systems for industrial and enterprise markets.
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn from data and improve their performance without being explicitly programmed. Instead of following fixed rules, machine learning models identify patterns and make predictions based on examples. This technology is widely used in applications such as recommendation systems, fraud detection, image recognition, and predictive maintenance. Machine learning plays a central role in modern AI systems by allowing software to adapt and scale with data. It is a foundational technology behind many intelligent products and services.
