We are at the beginning of a technological revolution that will fundamentally change the world of work, and artificial intelligence is now high on the agenda for businesses of all sizes. According to McKinsey, the use of generative AI is growing rapidly, with 65% of the more than 1,300 companies it surveyed this year saying they use AI regularly, double the proportion who said so 12 months ago.
Entrepreneurs and small businesses are at the heart of many economies. Small businesses account for 43.5% of the U.S. GDP, with more than 33 million businesses in the country. Entrepreneurship is growing; the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports that applications to set up small businesses have skyrocketed since 2020, with 1.75 million applications for 2024 alone. Meanwhile, in Europe, small businesses account for half of the EC’s GDP, with the region home to 25 million small businesses.
AI for Entrepreneurs
If you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner, it’s only a matter of time before you start using AI to streamline your workflow. The AI ​​market is estimated to be worth $96 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030. If you’re an entrepreneur, you’ll want to use AI to increase productivity and efficiency, keeping your business running smoothly and professionally. Generative AI can also help automate tasks like translation and data analysis, helping small businesses “compete on an equal footing” with larger companies, according to Harvard Business Review.
New AI tools help companies quickly create text, video and images. If you’re part of the massive and growing $250 billion creator economy, a market that could reach $480 billion by 2027, according to Goldman Sachs, you need to take advantage of the latest technology to make your work shine.
Technology designed for founders
As technology advances at an accelerated pace, entrepreneurs are placing greater demands on the tools they use to do their jobs, both in software and hardware, and Dell is perfectly positioned to help them capitalize. Founder Michael Dell, himself an entrepreneur who started the company in 1984 at age 19, once said, “Technology is about enabling human potential,” and this is now the company’s purpose behind it.
Forty years after its founding, Dell Technologies’ Jeff Clark predicts generative AI will soon go mainstream: “Our GenAI Pulse research shows that 65% of organizations that have moved beyond the pilot phase expect to see meaningful results from their GenAI initiatives within the next 12 months,” he said in late 2023.
In parallel, Clark predicts that PCs will become even more powerful. “Imagine a future where you can collaborate and co-create using voice, visual commands and gestures,” Clark says. “The PC experience will shift from search to command, from reading to comprehension, from editing to command,” he adds. All of this will accelerate productivity and creativity.

For Louise Quennell, head of the Client Solutions Group at Dell Technologies UK, the future of the PC is changing rapidly. “The days of just typing with a keyboard and mouse are over. We are now entering an era where the PC is becoming a true digital companion to humans,” she said.

When Dell talks to customers, they often hear that they want to use generative AI but don’t know where to start. Dell recently announced five new Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon® X-Series. These PCs are “innovative devices that seamlessly integrate new AI experiences,” said Mark Linton, vice president of Device Partner Sales at Microsoft.
