AI-enabled PCs change what an endpoint can be and make the digital employee experience better. In this three-podcast series, Intel and its partner Kyndryl will show how modern PCs use dedicated NPU, GPU, and CPU components to run AI locally for speed and privacy. They’ll explore what that shift means for the people who manage fleets of machines and the people who use them every day.
These conversations will show senior tech executives how Kyndryl secures and manages Dell Pro AI PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra Processors with vPro and AMT, using real-world examples to demonstrate how that protects your business and keeps it running smoothly even when disaster strikes. Learn how Kyndryl uses modern Dell Pro AI PC capabilities to fold device health, application performance, and employee experience into a single connected view. And take a deep dive with us into how small language models run directly on the AI PC to help the endpoint manage itself and improve the employee’s working day.
Listen to these podcasts and discover a smarter, more resilient, more human way to run the modern workplace.

Ep. 1
Building a Resilient Endpoint Fleet with Intel AMT and AI
In Episode one of “Exploring the Intelligent Endpoint: Discover Dell Pro AI PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra Processors with Kyndryl managed services,” our subject matter experts break down how the Blue Friday outage revealed that while Intel’s AMT had shipped in business PCs for nearly 20 years, few IT teams had turned it on due to the time-consuming activation process. They will trace why that gap persists in an era when vPro deployment has collapsed from a 26-step provisioning into a six-step cloud service, and how the same phone-home plumbing that enables remote repair now feeds Kyndryl Bridge’s AIOps layer.
