<p>On today's show our guest is Bob O'Donnell. Bob is President and Founder and Chief Analyst at TECHnalysis Research.  He's widely regarded as an expert in the technology market research field and his original research and advice is used by executives and large technology firms all over the world.</p> <p>I'd like to introduce my co-host Camille Morhardt. So hi, Camille, how are you doing today?</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Camille Morhardt:</strong> Hey Tom. I'm doing great.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Tom Garrison:</strong> So what's on your mind today?</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Camille Morhardt:</strong> Well, I know this sounds like a big topic. I was going to say artificial intelligence and compute.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Tom Garrison:</strong> Wow.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Camille Morhardt:</strong> But I wanted to start with something a little bit smaller: end devices. So when I think about the evolution of AI, the smartphone, particularly, with its built-in camera kind of gave deep learning such a boost. And then when I think about when I know what I'm going to do, and I need to sit down and get something done, I still go to my PC.</p> <p>So, what I'm wondering is when I think of the development of AI, it's kind of through the smartphone as this end device. And then of course, servers on the backend for centralized learning models. And then when I think about the future, I tend to think IOT, preventive, maintenance and exciting things like that. But what about this basic workhorse that is the PC? What's happening with respect to artificial intelligence and the PC</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Tom Garrison:</strong> Yeah, there's a lot to unpack there. In general, there's some pretty cool things about AI. Some of them sound boring, but they're, they're actually pretty game-changing and one of them sort of boring sounding ones is using AI to basically guess what you're about to do on the PC.</p> <p>So if, for example, you're working away in
