The era of the AI PC, or rather, the Copilot+ PC, has arrived.
This week, Microsoft introduced its vision of what personal computing will look like in this artificial intelligence-filled world. “We’re entering this new era where computers not only understand us but can anticipate what we want and our intents,” chief executive Satya Nadella remarked while explaining the platform shift starts with Microsoft Copilot.

“It puts knowledge and expertise at your fingertips and helps you act on it. It works across devices, every role, function and industry,” he says. “Copilot is empowering every person and every organization on the planet to be more knowledgeable, productive, creative and really be more connected to everything that matters to all of us.”
Later, Nadella remarks, “We believe AI will be distributed; the richest AI experiences will harness the power of the cloud and the edge working in concert. This, in turn, will lead to a new category of devices that turn the world into a prompt; that can see us, hear us, [and] reason about our intent and surroundings.” This is what (pardon the saying) prompted Microsoft to introduce Copilot+ PC.

Gartner estimates AI PCs will represent 22 percent of all PC shipments this year. “The rapid adoption of on-device GenAI capabilities and AI processors will eventually become a standard requirement for technology vendors,” Ranjit Atwal, the research firm’s senior director analyst, writes. “This ubiquity will pose challenges for vendors in differentiating themselves from competitors, making it harder to create unique selling points and drive increased revenues.”
What impact will this new computing reality have on the enterprise? Will it persuade business leaders to adopt AI? How will knowledge workers embrace having an AI trained on their actions right at their fingertips? Are there privacy and data security implications to be concerned about?
Though Microsoft has yet to reveal its business play, we thought we’d ask multiple company executives and analysts for their thoughts. Moor Insights & Strategy Principal …
