Description

Ubuntu Kylin is an official Ubuntu derivative, recognized for its UKUI desktop environment and Kylin application suite, both of which are embraced by global enthusiasts and community users. With over one million users in China, Ubuntu Kylin is actively exploring the integration of AI with operating systems.

This presentation will introduce Ubuntu Kylin’s latest explorations in AI and OS integration, focusing on the development of an AI-native operating system foundation and a standardized AI capability access platform. These innovations enable deep coupling between the desktop system and AI services, leading to the successful integration of intelligent assistants, AI-generated text-to-image features, smart fuzzy search, and more.

By leveraging on-device large model technology, we optimize software-hardware collaboration, allowing end users to execute complex AI tasks without relying on cloud computing. This fundamentally transforms the OS user experience, reshaping how users interact with AI at the system level.

What audience can learn

Attendees will gain insights into the latest advancements in AIPC, the obstacles that need to be overcome, potential solutions, and how these innovations are being realized within Ubuntu Kylin.
