The world's biggest tech congregation, Computex 2024, has just come to an end, and with it, a brilliant showcase of the latest and future technologies that this planet's biggest PC hardware makers are creating. Artificial Intelligence has been at the front and center of this conversation, so when Team Wccftech was invited to visit an AI exhibition hosted by GIGABYTE that imagined AI with human experience in real-time, we had to say yes!
GIGABYTE is fueling this new realm with a diverse range of applications, ranging from software innovations to a broad portfolio of hardware designed for creative needs. With its exhibition titled "GIGABYTE AI New Era: Humanity X Art X Technology," the company has created a pioneering hub that consolidates diverse AI applications into one cohesive platform.
GIGABYTE's AI Exhibition foresees a new era of immersive experiences and beyond
AI obviously has several use cases and we are only getting to learn what those could be, but the one that's leading the modern era is GenAI. GenAI, or Generative AI, has changed our perception of how we use PCs, and that's where the AI PC segment emerges from. GIGABYTE is one of the leading manufacturers of PCs and also one of the pioneers of the AI PC segment. The new GIGABYTE AI PC segment has been designed to cater to the creative demand of creators and professionals by using several AI applications to enhance their daily work.
But while we have all been seeing companies making big announcements about these amazing advancements that AI is responsible for, it's not always easy to imagine those in real life and in real-time, outside of, of course, the ubiquitous assistants. With its AI exhibit, GIGABYTE is trying to help everyone see not only the collaborative potential of AI-driven creative projects but also how it can unleash new avenues of VR creativity with computational power and AI capabilities, pushing boundaries and inspiring innovation in content creation and consumption.
The exhibit is a truly immersive experience, starting with artworks created using GenAI by world-renowned artists like Escher Tsai (Taiwan) and Keith Lam (Hong Kong), Ygor Marotta from the VJ Suave studio in São Paulo, Brazil, known for projecting love onto city corners using tricycles, and emerging Taiwanese new media artist Tim Wei. Then you are led to a room with a classic arcade fighting game machine that hosts battles using AI tools, where you can fight it out with AORUS desktop computers.
Next comes the creative battle where you imagine a world with AI prompts while AI itself tries to imagine something based on the prompt, too. Probably, the most amazing part of this exhibit was the 8K VR that helps you fly over Barcelona and Paris - an aspect of AI that is set to revolutionize how we create and consume content with Topaz Video AI Upscaling and real-time editing in Adobe Premier Pro for creation of immersive and interactive VR experiences.
The future of AI-driven creativity is then visualized with GIGABYTE and AORUS laptops using the latest AI technologies to capture visuals and transform them. We were a bit shocked when it took the live feed and then followed the prompt - which was to mix our face with Elon Musk's and then make it anime... whoever thought of that!
Featuring NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU and using ComfyUI, a demo laptop also helped us experience Live AI Drawing, generating high-resolution images based on simple text commands, bridging the gap between imagination and visual realization (we won't admit but we may have tried to create a purple goat...).
GIGABYTE showcases its GenAI solutions at its AI Exhibit, fueling the next era of AI PCs
From AI-generated art to machine learning applications, GIGABYTE demonstrates how AI is reshaping the world and our daily lives, creating new immersive experiences, and leading attendees to explore practical applications of AI PCs, experiencing the diverse aspects of computing power in everyday life.
To make these experiences possible, GIGABYTE has leveraged its vast engineering knowledge in designing a new AI PC ecosystem known as AI TOP. With AI TOP, creators and professionals get access to a powerful array of hardware, including GPUs, PSUs, motherboards, and SSDs, all of which are combined to offer a one-stop solution for GenAI requirements.
The company also announced a collaboration with NVIDIA, offering brand new RTX AI PCs that power next-gen experiences such as ACE NIM, a digital human/avatar technology that lets you create lifelike digital avatars that can be used to offer AI-based customer services, brand ambassadors, digital healthcare workers, and a lot more.
GIGABYTE is making a great effort to not only showcase products for the AI PC segment but also to help consumers experience how to best use the tech offered within these products.
