Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is about more than image generation (generative AI) or chatbots. As hardware-dedicated components like Neural Processing Units (NPUs) start to appear in modern AI PCs, like the latest Copilot+ PCs certified by Microsoft, the benefits of locally processed AI tasks expand to boost battery life in laptops, improve energy efficiency in desktops and help Windows make intelligent adjustments to the overall user experience.
