Artificial intelligence is increasingly associated with massive data centres and cloud infrastructure. Yet a new generation of AI chips may begin moving intelligence closer to where people actually live, work and make decisions. The rise of the AI PC could offer an early glimpse of a more distributed future for computing.
Artificial intelligence may appear weightless and digital, but robotics ultimately depends on energy, materials and physics. This article explores how batteries, compute efficiency, photonics and infrastructure could determine the future limits of autonomous machines.
Artificial intelligence is usually discussed as software. Faster models. Bigger datasets. Smarter algorithms. But what if the real shift is not in the code — but in the physics?
For the average consumer, 5G is little more than an icon in the corner of an iPhone screen — a symbol of speed, modernity and progress. For Apple, it represents something far more consequential: the most important negotiation table of this decade.
