"Rapid Rise: AI-Powered PCs Set to Dominate Market by 2027"
Research firm Gartner predicts a surge in AI PC and AI smartphone shipments in 2024, with 240 million generative AI smartphones and 54.5 million AI PCs expected to be shipped. While AI devices are projected to account for 22% of all PC and smartphone shipments by the end of the year, the lack of compelling use cases remains a challenge for vendors. The main selling point for these devices is their ability to perform generative AI tasks locally, providing security and privacy advantages. However, the industry is still waiting for developers to create new killer apps that take advantage of on-board generative AI capabilities to drive consumer interest. Despite this, the evolution of AI PCs and AI smartphones is expected to transform the user experience in the future.
