Episode 61: What will the next generation of AI-powered PCs mean for your everyday computing—and how will features like on-device AI, privacy controls, and new processors transform our digital lives? Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) is joined by Pavan Davuluri (https://x.com/pavandavuluri), Corporate Vice President of Windows and Devices at Microsoft, who’s leading the charge on bringing AI to mainstream computers.
In this episode of The Next Wave, Matt dives deep with Pavan into the world of AI PCs, exploring how specialized hardware like NPUs (Neural Processing Units) make AI more accessible and affordable. They break down the difference between CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs, and discuss game-changing Windows features like Recall—digging into the privacy safeguards and how AI can now run locally on your device.
