An Era of AI-PC and Display Opportunities

AI is poised to revolutionize the PC industry, and Intel is at the forefront of this transformation. The recently announced AI PC acceleration program aims to connect independent hardware vendors (IHV) and independent software vendors (ISV) with Intel resources including AI toolchains, co-engineering, software optimizations, co-marketing, and sales opportunities. Intel’s goal is to enable more than 100 million PCs with AI accelerators through 2025 while driving 300+ ISV features throughout 2024. The talk will focus on the convergence of AI-PC and Display opportunities through Intel Intelligent Display Technology which is a unique AI-powered Intel Software and innovations with panel and sensing partners. The latest examples of features in the products will be showcased and a glimpse of the future vision will be presented for the ecosystem to partner in this new era of AI-PC with Intel.
