Is This the PCpocalypse? Rethinking Personal Computing in the AI Era
As multimodal AI, natural voice interfaces, and ambient hardware mature, the PC's screen-and-keyboard paradigm faces its true existential shift. Can it survive? If personal computing, components and accessories are part of your product mix, you won't want to miss this session.
For decades, the personal computer survived the rise of smartphones and tablets by remaining the ultimate productivity hub. But as multimodal AI, natural voice interfaces, and ambient hardware mature, the screen-and-keyboard paradigm faces its true existential shift.
In this session, we examine why the current "AI PC" supercycle is just a transitional bridge to an era where intent replaces interface. Explore how smart glasses, wearable agents, and pervasive intelligence will dismantle traditional operating systems—and why the PC is destined to shift from a personal necessity to a specialized niche over the next decade.
