Revolutionizing Computing: AI Integration Marks Major Shift in PC Evolution

This could be the year that artificial intelligence forever changes personal computers — at least so says HP CEO Enrique Lores (HPQ).

Speaking to Yahoo Finance at the World Economic Forum, Lores said that a new category of PCs that incorporate specialized AI chips onboard would arrive in the hands of consumers this year.

"It's probably one of the biggest changes in the PC industry since the PC was invented more than 20 years ago," Lores said.

Lores's bullishness, of course, is expected, coming from the head of a computer company dipping its toes in AI, but not everyone is buying the paradigm shift in the personal computer space.

Hal Daumé III, a professor of computer science at the University of Maryland, has cautioned Americans to be wary of the AI hype.

"I am not totally convinced that the integration of specialized AI hardware on platforms is going to be such a huge shift," Daumé said. "I don't think it's going to change what we can do, but I think it might change who can do it because the hardware will be more commodified."
