One concern many users have about AI is that often their data leaves their PC and their network, with inferencing happening in the cloud. They have big questions about data protection. That's one of the main drivers for Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs; the neural processing units that are built-in to the latest CPU systems on a chip run inferencing locally using small language models (SLMs) and other optimized machine-learning tools.
AI isn't going anywhere, and everyone knows that by now. People around the world are using AI for just about any reason or task that you can imagine. I know people who consider the AI chatbots to be friends. I also know people who look at AI as a tool for research. And then there are those who use AI to write correspondence and other types of documents.
