Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber on why AI makes hardware 'sexy' again
"In the age of AI, hardware is definitely sexy again. AI needs hands, needs eyes, needs ears. So that's where we come in, and we're building AI-enabled products at scale, which is exciting."
"I wouldn't say we have an actual AI agent that's formally a board member, but we're using AI very fundamentally in our board meetings and in the preparation for our board meetings. My board members are AI-savvy, all of them."
Logitech, traditionally known for computer peripherals like mice, keyboards, and webcams, is undergoing a strategic shift toward AI-enabled products. CEO Hanneke Faber emphasizes that hardware remains relevant in the AI era because artificial intelligence requires physical interfaces—hands, eyes, and ears. The company is building AI-enabled products at scale. Faber approaches this transformation as a leadership challenge rather than purely a technological one. At the board level, Logitech integrates AI into meetings and preparation processes, with board members receiving AI training. The company has developed internal AI tools to enhance decision-making and feedback mechanisms, demonstrating how established hardware manufacturers can adapt to emerging technology trends.
