Hello everyone! With CES 2025 now behind us, we want to know if you caught all of the information about AI. So far, we know that AI can help enhance the effectiveness of security plans, broaden search abilities, and automate most repetitive tasks. We’ve learned that Independent Software Vendors can dictate how data is handled, which can help IT rest a little easier knowing the data won’t end up in someone else’s search. But is that why AI is everywhere?

To adopt AI, IT will need to assess its current IT architecture and provide devices capable of running AI. Collaboration across internal teams must also be enabled. All these things will require investment in modular and interoperable infrastructure (e.g., support for REST APIs, and microservices architecture).

So, is your organization ready for AI? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

yes, we have started using genAI cybersecurity alert summarization, providing context for the alert and also referencing similar alerts in the past 2 years.
On another note, we are also ready for AI PC’s and are looking forward to the first set of AI PC refreshes that are vPro enabled in Q2 2025.

Main issue we have is win11 hardware requirements, got a moderate batch of hardware heading for ewaste in the next year. Some of it is time to go other stuff still would be good for another few years otherwise.

I am in boat with many of my personal devices that won’t run win11 due to this, personal use and i don’t do stupid things online it kind of irritates me they won’t even allow win 11 to load. I think it may be time I jump ship to linux of some sort.

We are adding the giant calculator AI to our products and will have to upgrade to include NPUs in our computers sooner. Yay to include vPro to help manage them.

Unless the customer asks for it then it aint getting paid for so i guess not anytime soon in my world …

Yet they scrap £750 mil on a ship after 3 years development coz they decided they made a bad decision but who cares … tax payers money … ?

Grrr

We can use AI for some amazingly simple tasks like rewriting documents in a more professional manner. However, now we are not leveraging AI, as it doesn’t fit in our business model, workflows etc. We do not write code, build anything, etc. we distribute Sugar.

There is already a process to replace old PCs. Utilizing AI is something that has been brought up. I was apart of a meeting on this, and I’m on the list of people that have been using a few AI tools; ChatGPT, Gemini, CoPilot, etc… There isn’t a very mature policy about it’s use or how to properly utilize AI. We’ve been given at this time a generic script of be aware of what you enter into AI to make sure nothing that is company confidential gets leaked.

I’m looking at AI more to help me develop code and coding practices. Also due to the fact the code I’m working with isn’t in the typical structure AI isn’t going to be as helpful as it would be if I could just code using Python or Windows Powershell.

AI is the buzz word now huh. How much is done at the machine level? I have been helping local universities build machine learning servers and graphic card prices are changing daily…

Seeing what is done on the backend makes me think AI on a laptop is rebranding multi tasking or some other cool CPU tool.

We use ai tools that a browser based and some Co Pilot users. I haven’t seen that this will drive a pc refresh for any small business. It’s not on the discussions I have with clients because they are not aware, or it’s not a key part of their IT plans.
