+#### Running WebNN on NPU
+At present, the [image classification](https://webmachinelearning.github.io/webnn-samples/image_classification/) and [object detection](https://webmachinelearning.github.io/webnn-samples/object_detection/) samples support NPU.
+
+* Install NPU driver:
+
+  For Intel® AI Boost NPU of Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, download and install the [latest Intel NPU driver](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/794734/intel-npu-driver-windows.html).
+
+* Google Chrome Canary:
+1. Download the latest redistributable [Microsoft.AI.DirectML](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AI.DirectML/).
+2. Extract the package and copy the DirectML.dll (e.g. \bin\x64-win\DirectML.dll) to the Chrome Canary’s directory (e.g.C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\"version number"). Note that Chrome Canary may automatically update to a new version, in which case DirectML.dll will need to be recopied to the directory.
+3. Launch your browser in Windows Command Line:
+```bash
+"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe" --use-redist-dml --disable_webnn_for_npu=0
+```
+
+* Microsoft Edge Canary:
+1. Launch your browser in Windows Command Line:
+```bash
+"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge.exe" --disable_webnn_for_npu=0
+```
+2. For the first time you enable the `Enables WebNN API` flag, please wait a moment while the latest redistributable [Microsoft.AI.DirectML](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AI.DirectML/) is downloaded automatically before trying the samples.
+
+* Notes:
+1. There is an intermittent issue with the Intel NPU driver that causes failure of NPU adapter creation. The `WebNN(NPU)` backend button in the samples will be disabled with message "Unable to find a capable adapter". If you encounter this issue, please relaunch your browser and try again.
+2. The flag `disable_webnn_for_npu` is set to true by default to disable WebNN on NPU due to the aforementioned issue. To bypass this, use `--disable_webnn_for_npu=0`. This flag will be removed once the issue is resolved.
+3. Running WebNN on NPU requires a higher version of DirectML.dll than the one in the Windows system. Using the `--use-redist-dml` flag will allow Google Chrome Canary to load the downloaded DirectML.dll with a sufficiently high version.
