Microsoft held an event in San Francisco centered on upcoming Windows and Surface products, with a particular focus on how local, on-device artificial intelligence will shape future PCs.
The event featured a conversation involving Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella, Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, and Pavan Davuluri, the Microsoft executive who leads the Windows and Surface group. The discussion centered on the role AI processing performed directly on a device, rather than in the cloud, is expected to play in upcoming hardware and software.
Microsoft has increasingly emphasized AI capabilities built into Windows and its Surface hardware line over the past several product cycles, positioning on-device AI processing as a key differentiator for future PCs. The involvement of Nvidia's chief executive points to continued collaboration between the two companies on AI-capable hardware.
Details of specific new Surface devices or Windows features unveiled at the event were not confirmed ahead of the presentation.
The event is part of a broader industry push, spanning several major technology companies, to integrate AI processing more deeply into consumer and professional computing hardware.
