Your own computer will have an artificial intelligence processor inside. Not only can daily tasks be done faster, AI-dependent tasks can also be done. With this we are entering the era of true artificial intelligence. How will these AI PC? How much can be done?
Finally, artificial intelligence has come to computers.
After using AI tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini or Microsoft's Dal.E on the computer for so long, it may seem a little strange to hear this. I have been using AI on computers for a long time, what is new?
In fact, using artificial intelligence in computers and using computers to work on artificial intelligence-powered tools are not the same thing. Generative AIs like ChatGPT, Gemini or Midjourney do almost all of the processing on a remote server; That is, we are only using the interface of these tools on the remote server or with the help of the internet with our computer. Can't directly use any artificial intelligence model on our computer. In using AI in these cloud or internet-dependent processes, we face two major problems. One. Latency or delay and two. Vulnerability or susceptibility to attack.
At the beginning of this year, Intel launched its Intel Core Ultra series of processors for AI PCs, which have AI acceleration to support artificial intelligence tasks.
Let's assume chatgpt. To use ChatGPT a user has to use ChatGPT's website or app. There, when the user inputs a command or prompt, it goes from the website or app to OpenAI's servers. There the chatgpt server tries to understand that command or prompt. It then generates an output using the information provided by the user according to that command. ChatGPT uses their server performance entirely to generate this output. It has no effect on the performance of the user's device. OpenAI then sends that output to the user's ChatGPT account. In this whole process, the input-outputs have to reach the user through the device-internet-server-internet-device path. This way the process takes some time to complete, which creates latency or delay.
Apart from that, in this process the information provided by the user is sent from his device to another remote server. In most cases the user does not know how the sensitive information provided by him is being shared or stored. As a result, there is a risk of this information being leaked or stolen, which is called vulnerability. Almost all AI tools, software or programs today work more or less like this.
If these AI-based tasks can be performed on the user's device instead of being sent to a remote server, both latency and vulnerability problems will be solved. AI PC was born from this thought; That is, AI PC means computers that have a dedicated neural processing unit or NPU in the CPU for artificial intelligence tasks. With these NPUs, these computers can perform large language model or LLM processes as well as many types of artificial intelligence driven work. It reduces reliance on external servers to perform user-directed AI-based tasks. Reduced latency and vulnerability too.
AMD also launched their AMD Ryzen AI series processors this year. It is the first AI engine-equipped processor for computers on the traditional x86 architecture. It allows computer users to run ChatGPT and other prompt-based AI tasks on their PCs.
Apart from that, artificial intelligence based programs are progressing at an exponential rate. It will soon be impossible to take full advantage of these programs using traditional computers. Therefore, personal artificial intelligence-powered devices have become essential for the future of computing. That's why CPU and computer manufacturing companies are now preparing themselves for the inevitable AI era.
At the beginning of this year, Intel launched its Intel Core Ultra series of processors for AI PCs, which have AI acceleration to support artificial intelligence tasks. The specialty of these computers is that they can distribute the artificial intelligence tasks evenly among the PC's CPU, GPU and NPU.
Dedicated NPUs in such processors speed up traditional computer tasks as well as artificial intelligence-based tasks. Because of this, such processors are much faster than traditional computer processors. Because of this impact on performance and efficiency, Intel has called these new processors the biggest advances in personal computing in the last two decades.
AMD also launched their AMD Ryzen AI series processors this year. It is the first AI engine-equipped processor for computers on the traditional x86 architecture. It allows computer users to run ChatGPT and other prompt-based AI tasks on their PCs. Starting from one-line instructions or instructions, writing e-mails or essays, creating images from text, centering the subject in a video call, helping with editing, almost all types of traditional AI tools can now be done on this PC. In addition to protecting against cyber attacks, the computer will be automatically protected with the help of artificial intelligence-powered self-heal feature if the device is somehow subjected to a cyber attack.
Along with traditional text fill, text-to-image, AI features like content editing and all the benefits of a true virtual assistant, this computer series has several special features. One of these is recall. This feature is like going back in time in a time machine.
Microsoft also launched the Copilot+PC series last month to deliver such NPU and artificial intelligence-based features to consumers. In addition to their new Surface and Surface Pro laptops, almost every computer manufacturer including Asus, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer is launching their own CoPilot+ PCs this year.
Along with traditional text fill, text-to-image, AI features like content editing and all the benefits of a true virtual assistant, this computer series has several special features. One of these is recall. This feature is like going back in time in a time machine. Let's say you're doing a new job on CoPilot+PC. At some point in the work you may have forgotten how you got this far. Using CoPilot+PC's recall feature, you can see what you did on the computer, where you moved the cursor, where you clicked which button—everything like a video recording. Like I said, it's like going back in time and seeing yourself at work.
Apart from this, advanced search technology has been used in these computers, through which you can search any file on your computer, the content inside the file, or even the browsed content.
Suppose you wrote the title of a book in a Word document a few months ago. But can't find exactly which file it is in. You can search files within folders as well as within files using this advanced search feature. Just typing the name of the book will show which file it is in. Using this feature, you can search not only inside the file, but also from the images and videos on the computer, what you have read on any website, and from those articles. Want to find a specific photo of your cat wearing a hat among the thousands of photos on your PC? If you search by describing the image, it will be found instantly. Read something interesting in a journal in a computer browser a few days ago, but don't remember exactly where? If you search by describing the content, Copilot will also find it. Apart from this, due to the performance of the NPU-containing fast processor, you will get the benefit of instant translation and transcription in about 40 languages in this computer. Suppose you work with a Spanish company. If someone suddenly starts speaking in Spanish instead of English in a company meeting video conference, your computer's AI will immediately translate it into your preferred language and show it on the screen as subtitles.
You can search files within folders as well as within files using this advanced search feature. Just typing the name of the book will show which file it is in. You can search not only inside the file, but also from the images and videos on the computer, what you have read on any website, and also from those articles using this feature.
Apart from these, these computers will have almost all the advantages of AI tools that we use today. Many of these will be met again without any internet connection. Because that AI processing will be inside the computer itself.
This type of computer will also be very useful in AI tools development. Since AI PCs can perform artificial intelligence tasks using their own NPUs within the processor, developers can run LLM models in their native or custom environments. Starting from advanced development, these new AI computers will bring speed and convenience to daily work.
With this built-in AI integration into software, programs, and phones, we have now truly entered the era of artificial intelligence.
