AI-powered PC ecosystem to gain ground

High-tech players including Lenovo, Intel roll out products for upper hand

An artificial intelligence-powered personal computer ecosystem is forming in China, and this will boost the popularity of AI PCs in the country, said company executives and experts.

The ecosystem includes hardware makers, chipmakers, software developers and large language model (LLM) developers, which can help popularize AI PCs, or computers that integrate AI into their processors. These PCs are capable of independently running LLMs and applications.

AI PCs have the potential to become exclusive smart assistants that truly understand a user's needs, said Ablikim Abrimiti, vice-president of Lenovo Group.
