PC Industry Positioned to Drive Local AI Adoption Through Apps and Real-World Use Cases
• The PC industry needs to serve as a middleman for local AI apps to convince users to adopt local AI • Qualcomm announced an AI model hub optimized for Snapdragon, but more examples of real-world AI uses are needed • Microsoft doesn't seem invested in local AI yet; its Copilot offerings require the cloud • Hardware vendors like MSI provide apps like AI Artist, but more apps are needed to showcase local AI • Chip vendors should bundle AI trials and apps to make adoption simple rather than just touting hardware performance
