On-device AI is ideal for tasks like automation, data analysis, and productivity enhancements. Windows 11 uses AI features like Copilot to offer smart suggestions and automate repetitive tasks, which improves work efficiency and reduces manual workload.
By keeping AI processing local, businesses can also reduce their reliance on external servers and minimise data transfer risks. This is especially valuable for industries where data privacy and security are priorities.

How to Make the Most of AI Tools in Windows 11
While there are benefits and challenges to using AI in Windows 11, the key to maximizing its potential lies in knowing how to use it effectively.

Optimized UI and AI
AI-influenced UI (user interface) improvements will help define a user-friendly design. The user-machine interaction is hassle-free and ultimately supportive because it learns to adapt to your needs.
