Prakash Arunkundrum, HP’s first-ever chief strategy and transformation officer, bets edge AI will ‘bring the token cost down’
HP's Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Prakash Arunkundrum, believes that edge AI can significantly reduce the escalating costs associated with token usage in enterprise AI applications. The company is focusing on developing "AI PCs" and its own local-first AI model, HP IQ, to enable AI processing directly on devices rather than relying solely on the cloud. This approach not only aims to lower total cost of ownership by minimizing token consumption but also enhances data privacy and sovereignty, which is particularly important in regions like Asia. AI
