Agentic AI is moving out of the data center and onto the desk. In Episode 23 of the Dell Technologies Forum Podcast Series, Jon Siegal, SVP of Product Marketing at Dell Technologies, explains why the next AI breakthrough will happen at the edge — on the AI PC and the client device — and what that shift means for productivity, cost, data privacy, and how enterprises actually deploy AI.
From autonomous AI agents that run locally to the economics of inferencing on-device, Jon breaks down why waiting on cloud and data-center capacity is no longer the only path — and how "agentic AI at the desk" changes the game for IT leaders, developers, and everyday knowledge workers.
