COMPUTEX to Hold the AI PC Industry Exploration Forum on May 16, 2024

---

As one of the organizers of COMPUTEX, Taipei Computer Association (TCA) stated that AI technologies such as generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) are the main focuses for industrial digital transformation in recent years. AI-empowered devices such as AI PCs, AI servers, and AI phones are also expected to take center stage in this year’s COMPUTEX. According to the research firm IDC, AI PC sales are expected to grow from 50 million units in 2024 to over 167 million by 2027, accounting for more than 60% of the overall PC shipments.

A report from Gartner predicts the global shipments of AI PC and GenAI Smartphones to reach a total of 295 million units in 2024, more than 10x the 29 million units’ figure in 2023. The thinktank MIC (Market Intelligence and Consulting Institute) predicts that the global server shipments are expected to be 13.49 million units in 2024, an increase of 5.1% from the previous figures. Among them, AI servers will be positively affected from various factors, including the growing interest in and demand for GenAI and LLM, as well as the continued developments in internal enterprise models. The demand is expected to continue to rise and become the main driving force of the server market in 2024, accounting for nearly 16.2% of the entire market and grow to 21.5% by 2027.

TCA stated that Connecting AI will be the main theme of COMPUTEX 2024. As AI PCs are able to improve corporate and personal work efficiency and work together with AI servers, they have become important devices for GenAI applications. Leveraging the ongoing industrial trend today, TCA will hold the AI PC Industry Exploration Forum on May 16 with speakers from various leading companies in the AI ecosystem, including: MIC Deputy General Director, Chris Hung; Intel Taiwan Vice President & GM, Grace Wang; VP of Qualcomm Technologies Inc. and President of Qualcomm TW, SEA, ANZ, ST Liew; Engineering Director, Tech Site Lead, Google Taiwan, Jason Ma; and CEO & Founder of Kneron, Albert Liu.

As GenAI will affect various different industries, many industry players are paying attention to the applications of GenAI in vertical industries and the AI PC ecosystem. To address the different perspectives of major corporations in terms of the positioning, functions, and practical applications of GenAI in the AI PC ecosystem, the forum will also have a panel discussion session moderated by MIC Deputy General Director, Chris Hung.
