Advanced editing capabilities hasten demand for AI PCs｜Taiwan News

The market for high-end AI laptops has exploded this year. In just one quarter, usage has doubled. One Taiwanese manufacturer is working with Intel to combine their software and hardware expertise to create a laptop that can run AI capabilities without the cloud or internet at all. For video as well as photos, it can automatically add mosaics or remove the background, making every user into a creator.

In today’s world, people rarely let their phone or computer leave their side. Now that AI PCs are hitting the market, all kinds of software beyond just ChatGPT will make work times nearly instantaneous, down to as short as a second.

This AI PC can add a mosaic in just one second. On a regular laptop, you have to adjust the parameters manually. It’s also highly effective at removing backgrounds. Even without using a lasso tool, it can immediately and clearly delineate the edges.

By giving instructions to an AI laptop, everyone can be an artist. You can transform a photo you took into an Impressionist painting, a Realist work, or whatever you want. If you don’t want to go out for a headshot, you can also do this.

Lots of generative AI runs on the cloud. But with significant increases in edge computing power, we’re able to run generative AI processes natively. So there will be huge growth in AI PCs. That’s undeniable. Since the market at this early phase is relatively small, it will definitely see huge growth.

Companies say that AI is a major driver in the PC market. From just the first to the second quarter of this year alone, growth in worldwide AI PC shipments surged from 7% to 14%.
