Enterprise IT commentator David Linthicum proposes a sticker reading "My AI Runs Local" for every AI-powered laptop, signaling fewer surprise cloud bills, more control over sensitive data, and a reminder that not every prompt needs a round trip to a data center.
He stresses cloud AI remains essential, but as models get smaller, faster and more capable, local AI is shifting from demo to a practical architecture decision.
