The Future of AI PCs: How Mac is Leading the Charge
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the tech landscape, with PCs at the forefront of this revolution. But what exactly is an AI PC? According to Canalys, an AI PC is a personal computer that can process AI workflows locally using a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This marks a significant shift from traditional computing, where AI tasks were typically handled by remote servers.
The Advantage of Local Neural Processing
Why is local neural processing crucial? Here are three key benefits:
- Improved Security: Processing AI workflows locally keeps sensitive data on the device, significantly reducing the risks associated with cloud storage breaches.
- Lower Latency: Local processing enables faster response times, which are essential for real-time applications and user interactions.
- Cost Efficiency: On-device processing can be more economical over time, minimizing dependence on costly cloud infrastructure.
While many business AI workflows, such as Microsoft Copilot, currently rely on the cloud, Canalys anticipates a shift toward on-device or hybrid processing models that leverage local NPUs to enhance AI and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities.
The Future of AI PCs
Canalys predicts that by 2027, most PCs sold to businesses will be equipped with NPUs. This transformation is driven by the compelling advantages of local AI processing, making NPUs an essential feature for future PCs.
Apple Devices Play a Pioneering Role in AI and Neural Processing
Apple devices have been at the forefront of incorporating AI capabilities into their functionalities. This journey began in 2017 with the introduction of the A11 Bionic chip in the iPhone X, featuring a Neural Engine capable of 600 billion operations per second. This chip enabled advanced features like Face ID and Animoji.
The shift to Apple silicon for Mac has further solidified their leadership in AI. Each generation of M-Series silicon—from the M1 to the latest M3 Max—includes a Neural Engine that has improved dramatically, increasing performance from 0.6 TOPS in 2017 to an impressive 19 TOPS today—a 30-fold improvement.
Every Mac Built for AI and Machine Learning
Every Mac today is engineered for AI and ML, powered by Apple silicon and its Neural Engine. With AI-enabled hardware, powerful macOS features, and third-party applications that leverage the Neural Engine, the Mac is the best AI PC available today. It not only delivers exceptional power efficiency and long battery life but also boasts features tailored for business users.
The strength of AI and ML on the Mac lies in a robust hardware and software platform, including CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine acceleration for AI workflows. Core ML, along with a comprehensive set of developer tools, provides the framework for integrating machine learning models into both macOS features and third-party applications.
Intelligent Features in macOS Sonoma
macOS Sonoma harnesses Core ML and other tools to offer intelligent features for business users, such as voice isolation during calls, secure offline dictation, and the ability to copy text from images. These enhancements boost productivity and ensure that Mac users access the latest AI-driven capabilities seamlessly.
Third-Party Apps and AI on Mac
Third-party developers can create innovative applications that leverage both Apple’s developer tools and optimized Mac hardware. These AI applications enhance business productivity and provide creative solutions to complex problems.
Embracing the AI Revolution
The rise of AI PCs marks a significant leap in computing technology, with the Mac leading the charge through innovative hardware and neural processing capabilities. As businesses seek enhanced security, lower latency, and cost efficiency, the integration of NPUs in PCs will become increasingly vital.
Explore the exciting potential of AI PCs and discover how the advanced AI capabilities in Mac can transform your business operations, drive efficiency, and keep you at the cutting edge of technology.

Unlocking Potential: How Accessibility Features on Apple Devices Empower Your Workforce
In today’s diverse workplace, inclusivity is key to fostering a productive and innovative environment. However, many employees with disabilities may hesitate to disclose their conditions, resulting in untapped potential and unaddressed needs. Accessibility features on Apple devices provide solutions that bridge this gap, enabling all employees to thrive. Let’s explore how these tools can enhance your workplace, promoting inclusivity and boosting productivity.
Vision Accessibility
Apple devices are equipped with features designed to assist individuals with vision impairments. VoiceOver, a screen reader, allows users to hear descriptions of what’s on their screen. Magnifier acts like a digital magnifying glass to zoom in on objects or text, making it easier for visually impaired employees to navigate their tasks effectively.
Hearing Accessibility
For those with hearing difficulties, Live Listen turns an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into a remote microphone for hearing aids or AirPods. Additionally, Sound Recognition alerts users to important sounds like doorbells, alarms, or crying babies, ensuring they remain aware of their surroundings even in noisy environments.
Physical and Motor Accessibility
AssistiveTouch helps employees with motor skill challenges use their devices through custom gestures and on-screen controls. Switch Control allows users to control their devices using a single switch or multiple switches, enabling interaction without traditional touch inputs.
Learning Accessibility
Accessibility features support employees with learning disabilities through tools like Speak Screen and Safari Reader. Speak Screen reads aloud the content on the screen, and Safari Reader reduces visual clutter on webpages, making reading and comprehension easier.
By integrating accessibility features on Apple devices into your workplace, you create an environment where every employee can perform at their best. These tools not only support individual needs but also contribute to a more inclusive, innovative, and productive business. Embrace these technologies to unlock the full potential of your workforce and drive success.
