Self-Running AI Goes Local as Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google Push Autonomous Computing

Tech giants are rolling out chips, software, and devices designed to power autonomous AI agents that can perform complex tasks with minimal prompting, including Nvidia’s RTX Spark chip for laptops and Microsoft’s Scout for 365; Google is adding on-screen action suggestions. While the promise is strong for business use and reducing reliance on keyboards and cloud, cost and trust barriers remain before these edge-first, cloud-less AI agents become mass-market reality.
