Most tech-savvy observers understand that AI is transforming large companies across capabilities such as customer service, HR, and supply chain. The chatbot and virtual assistants feature a large language model (LLM) that responds to almost any natural language query.
These models are trained with business-specific data to provide targeted, accurate answers.
According to a poll by the US Chamber of Commerce and Teneo, 98% of small businesses use AI-enabled software, with 40% using generation tools such as chatbots and image creators to reduce cost and speed workflows.
However, AI is not just scattered across large corporations. A new generation of everyday business hardware and operating systems puts AI in the hands of business owners of all sizes and uses applications across a wide range of business functions.
Business computing systems in the age of AI
MSI Product Manager Andrew Wan has a front row seat to the transformational impact of AI across the industry. He describes what used to be a buzzword as now a practical and everyday tool. In fact, a survey of 3,350 business leaders from Salesforce found that 91% of SMBs who employ AI are measurable revenue growth.
In marketing, for example, AI is bolstering smarter and personalized campaigns. Our content team creates, tweaks and reuses materials at incredible speeds. Meanwhile, the law reduces the time required for research and contract review.
Classes and clinics also have great advantages. In education, AI makes learning more flexible, whereas in healthcare, AI makes diagnosis and patient care better. Throughout the field, AI increases productivity and allows people to focus on what really matters.
AI Ready Computing Hardware
Many business owners have asked questions about the suitability of this new AI age legacy system. According to WAN, MSI’s latest technology is designed to help everyday business users make the most of AI. For example, the Cubi Nuc AI+ 2M includes the next generation Intel® LunarLake processor. These compact systems also include Microsoft Copilot+. This is an AI-powered assistant designed to help teams work smarter.
And it’s not just about enthusiasts who use AI. 27% of SMBs are “slightly accelerated” technology spending due to their AI needs, and an additional 35% are “slightly accelerated” their investments.
MSI’s new desktop model also comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, and with Microsoft’s October migration deadline approaching, it offers businesses a smooth upgrade path from Windows 10.
Real business impact
AI is already improving productivity and business outcomes in many organizations. Early small business employers see real profits by automating repetitive workflows that free valuable time and resources.
“We hear about specific improvements in productivity, customer satisfaction and even employee engagement as our teams are empowered by technology that supports our goals,” Wang said.
AI has already had a major impact on businesses, but Wan believes it has only damaged the surface of its potential. Next year, he hopes that AI will be further integrated into his everyday workflow. Especially through smart devices that provide real-time insights while keeping your data private and secure.
“Going forward five years ago, AI is not just a useful tool. It will be at the heart of how you run your business,” he said. “It shapes strategies, stimulates new revenue ideas and opens the door to ways of working that we don’t yet imagine. Companies that are now starting to build foundations with AI-friendly systems will set this smarter, more connected pace for the future.”
For AI
Of course, there are some risks to keep in mind when it comes to all the opportunities AI offers businesses. Wan said MSI is committed to responsibly adopting AI, and its suite of AI-powered computing products is designed with sustainability in mind.
“We’ve included a three-year pre-alternative warranty, which means almost zero downtime,” Wan says. “And by focusing on energy-efficient design, we are helping businesses reduce their environmental footprint while embracing the future of work.”
77% of small businesses plan to adopt new digital technologies, including AI and metaverse stools, within next year, creating energy-efficient hardware like MSI pre-replacements and robust guarantees that are critical to minimizing downtime and environmental impact.
“I believe that building something more sustainable is equally important as we build towards a more intelligent future,” Wang said.
