Cerebras CEO Predicts Home AI Assistants, Pushes Back on AI Doom Talk

Cerebras Systems CEO and cofounder Andrew Feldman predicts personal AI assistants that run partly in homes could soon become common, according to TechCrunch. He discussed the prospect at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026.

In a separate part of the session, TechCrunch reports, Feldman pushed back on the AI doomer narrative, quipping that "some of the leaders in the AI world maybe shouldn't be allowed to talk in public."

Feldman said the assistants could process some tasks on local devices and send others to the cloud, similar to smartphones. He expects them to learn about users, operate within a security perimeter, access credit cards and make purchases.

Feldman also said he uses several AI agents to review his calendar and gather information about people before calls. Cerebras focuses on the computing infrastructure that supports such applications rather than developing consumer products.
