This week we saw the launch of Copilot+ PC devices – essentially, Windows 11 laptops that come powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X chips that feature an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that’s specifically designed to handle complex AI (artificial intelligence) tasks.
The idea of on-device AI is certainly very interesting (as is the technology behind it) and the benefits are compelling: you don’t need an internet connection, and security is much higher as you’re not sharing information with companies providing AI tools – it should all remain encrypted on your laptop.
