The Future of AI is Hybrid: TECHnalysis Research Survey Report

Everyone knows that AI is reshaping the very foundations of enterprise computing. But what hasn’t been as clear is the fact that it’s a Hybrid AI model—involving the major public cloud providers, on-premise data centers/private clouds and edge computing devices—that are driving the biggest change. The latest TECHnalysis Research Hybrid AI Study, which surveyed over 1,000 IT decision-makers from medium and large organizations across ten US industries, offers a compelling snapshot of this transition. The findings reveal that the era of “cloud-first” thinking for AI workloads and applications is rapidly giving way to a more nuanced, hybrid approach—one that balances the strengths of public cloud, private infrastructure, and edge computing.

Even with the potential cloud of major DRAM shortages hanging over the industry’s head, this year’s CES was no exception. There was a large and impressive range of new machines, intriguing prototypes, and some amazing PC peripherals to highlight how even the mature PC industry hasn’t lost its ability to innovate.

CES 2026: AI has major impact on everyday products, from PCs to cars

No one will be surprised to hear that at this year’s edition of the “gadgetpalooza” that is the CES convention in Las Vegas, AI was everywhere.
