Desktop, laptop and smartphone manufacturers are banking on the growing popularity of products with generative artificial intelligence (AI) to drive consumers towards devices with built-in AI features. Therefore, sales of gadgets will increase.

Computer supply has slowed in the last two years. Heavy demand from customers working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 ended last year. The Asia-Pacific PC market, which includes desktops and laptops as well as workstations, is forecast to decline 7.6 percent this year, following a 11.6 percent decline last year.

Still, manufacturers are relying on the proliferation of prolific AI products like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Chinese internet search giant Baidu’s Ernie Bot to push consumers toward devices with built-in AI features, according to IDC. This will boost the sluggish demand in the PC market. By 2027, computers with chips equipped with built-in AI capabilities will account for 86% of laptops shipped to China, according to IDC.

At its first developer conference this week, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT, which launched just a year ago, has more than 100 million weekly active users worldwide. Baidu rival Ernie Bot was launched in March this year and has reached more than 70 million active users in China, the company’s chief technology officer Wang Haifeng said on Thursday.

Users are eager to try the latest generation of chatbots with artificial intelligence that can solve tasks such as taking notes from long texts, creating emails and work reports, transcribing and translating records in different languages. PC manufacturers are working to integrate these capabilities into their products.

Company Lenovo aims to transform “personal computers” into “personalized computers” with the help of artificial intelligence technologies. A laptop with artificial intelligence will be able to create work reports by examining your preferences and the documents you have previously created., – said the company’s vice president Ablikim Ablimit (Ablikim Ablimit) at an industry event held in Beijing on Thursday. “But achieving this goal will require the joint efforts of all developers of both personal computers and artificial intelligence.”

You can cite the Ryzen Pro 7040 series Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) as an example of AI-supported processors. The processor was launched earlier this year and is considered to be one of the world’s first x86 processors with built-in AI engine Ryzen AI.

Smartphone manufacturers are also trying to incorporate artificial intelligence capabilities into their devices. For example, last month Jason Liao, head of the research institute at Oppo, one of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturers, told reporters: “Oppo is very optimistic about the future integration of artificial intelligence and applications using large language models on smartphones.”

In August, the company introduced its own LLM model, AndesGPT, for testing, designed to enhance Xiaobu’s voice assistant to improve user interaction. The relevant brand, Vivo, also announced last month that it intended to add its own artificial intelligence model to its new operating system, Origin OS 4. Let’s also add that the other day Samsung announced an AI services package that will include Galaxy AI functions. Translating phone conversations in real time.
