2025: The era of the AI Personal Computer
“Frustrated that your hair never appears satisfactory with a fuzzy background? By utilizing on-device AI, this will be rectified, resulting in a more superior differentiation between the focal point and the fuzzy backdrop,” according to Forrester. “Furthermore, the AI PC will offer additional functionalities, such as enhancing eye contact, applying artistic blur effects, automatic framing, adjusting lighting, and generating digital avatars.”
Transitioning from cloud computing to edge computing
Specialists foresee AI capabilities and resources increasingly shifting towards edge computing — being integrated into smartphones, laptops, and IoT gadgets — as AI processing occurs proximate to the end-user at the network’s edge, near the location of the data, as opposed to being centralized in cloud computing infrastructures or private data centers. This approach reduces latency and enhances security.
For instance, Lenovo recently introduced AI Now, an AI assistant that utilizes a localized Extensive Language Model (ELM) established on Meta’s Llama 3, facilitating a chatbot that can operate on PCs locally without requiring an internet connection. Additionally, HP unveiled two AI Personal Computers just last month: the OmniBook Ultra Flip 2-in-1 laptop and the HP EliteBook X 14-inch AI-powered laptop. The duo of personal computers are equipped with three processing units (CPU, GPU, and NPU) to expedite AI functions and come with either an Intel Core Ultra processor featuring a dedicated AI processor or an AMD Ryzen PRO NPU processor that offers up to 55 TOPS (tera operations per second) performance.
