The Intelligence from The Economist · Head out of the cloud: Nvidia’s personal-computer shift · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

It's basically the evolution of AI towards being more useful.

and getting into more applications, that has driven the need for this type of a solution.

Exactly.

Now I think what will eventually probably end up happening is it's going to be a combination of some stuff run locally, some stuff going to the cloud.

But even if you have a laptop that is actually able to make those decisions and understand what you do locally versus what you send to the cloud, that becomes a big plus.

Versus today, when most of us are using either Cloud or Chat GPT, all of that is running on their cloud.

So this actually opens up a lot more options.

Yeah, so during the keynote, Jensen Wang actually had a good analogy, which I'll repeat here.

He said that after smartphones, people use their phones for everything other than phone calls.

And so he sees a very similar future with the personal computer as well, which is something that'll do a lot of tasks for us.

So today we do a lot of things on the personal computer, we initiate the actions and things like that.

The future could be one where the computer does a lot of things for us, and it's a machine that's running on its own, making decisions.

So he envisions a very different kind of PC than what we have seen over the past 40 years.

And that's the reason he thinks it needs a completely new kind of chip.

I think everybody in the industry agrees that the way the user experience on the personal computer, or quote unquote, the edge as it's called in the jargon, it's going to be very different from what it was previously because of AI.

The challenge is I don't think everybody has a firm view of what that future looks like.

But I think everybody agrees it's not going to look like what it is today, which is you open up your browser, answer emails, open a spreadsheet, things like that.

I think a lot more autonomy, a lot more agents running independently, all that is going to happen for sure.

Well, this is a tricky question because different chipmakers have different views on what they call an AI chip.

I would say Intel, AMD, they've all been making moves in this space.
