As artificial intelligence makes its way into K–12 educational technologies, it’s bringing about a lot of change. For example, it’s helping teachers effectively addresses each student’s preferred learning style and needs. 

To take full advantage of these tools, schools need technologies that support and enable AI. One option is devices equipped with Intel Core Ultra processors. These components contain central, graphics and neural processing units, which maximize a PC’s AI capabilities, says Snow White, director of education sales strategy at Intel. 

EdTech: Focus on K-12 spoke to White about the ways AI-equipped hardware helps teachers monitor students’ progress, tailor their lessons and encourage engagement, all while offering additional security and extending the life of devices.

EDTECH: What are neural processing units, and how do Intel-powered devices play a role in today’s optimized learning software?

WHITE: We’re seeing a new category of devices that work better with or require an NPU. If a device has an NPU, it’s more than AI-capable, it’s an AI PC.
