Users of personal computers with built-in AI services are less productive than users of traditional PCs, according to a study by Intel.
The chip maker would love to see more people buy AI PCs sold by its hardware partners, so it commissioned a study on the benefits of AI. However, the result was the exact opposite of what was expected: “current AI PC owners spend more time on tasks than their counterparts using traditional PCs,” writes Intel. As the study explains, “Many AI users are redundant you spend time figuring out how best to interact with AI tools to get the answers you want. Organizations offering AI-enabled products must provide education to unlock the potential of ‘everyday AI’.
He graduated among 6,000 people in Germany, France and the UK according to a survey people waste an average of 15 hours a week doing what the company pejoratively calls “digital housework.” Some of these mundane tasks – activities that are supposed to be the purview of chatbots, such as writing emails, transcribing discussions, managing files, etc. – can be delegated to generative artificial intelligence, and thus four of the 15 wasted hours per week can be saved.
According to Robert Hallock, vice president of Intel, the challenge for AI PC manufacturing companies is to retrain knowledge-based workers so that AI technology is more of a help than a hindrance. “As a technology leader, our role is to support the transition to AI-based living and equip consumers with the knowledge they need to use AI PCs effectively and ethically,” he said. Intel and its partners clearly have a lot they need to advertise to convince the public that AI PCs can benefit them.86 percent of consumers have never heard of AI, according to the study from a PC and didn’t even use it.
According to the study, the lack of knowledge about AI PCs leads to “misconceptions”: 44 percent of those surveyed believe that AI PCs are a gimmick or futuristic; 53 percent believe that MI PCs are only for creative or technical professionals; 86 percent are concerned about the privacy and security of their data when using an MI PC; And 17 percent believe that MI PCs are unsafe or unregulated. Introducing the wonders of artificial intelligence seems to have an effect on the appeal of computational intelligence. Only 32 percent of respondents unfamiliar with MI PCs said they would consider purchasing one when they next upgrade, compared to 64 percent of those who have already used an MI PC. So far, however, the evangelization of AI PCs among device manufacturers is not having a big impact on PC sales.
