The head of the world’s biggest PC maker has laid out its aims for a powerful, intelligent AI future.

Speaking in his opening keynote at the Lenovo Tech World 2024 event in Bellevue, company chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang, noted how, "we use the power of AI to preserve the most cherished experiences.”

"It's all about using AI to build a smarter future, together, for all,” he added, “Lenovo believes AI is real, it's not a fleeting trend, it’s not an inflated bubble."

Hybrid AI

In a wide-ranging keynote that featured guest appearances from the likes of AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Yang outlined how AI is already improving the quality of life for individuals, delivering higher productivity for enterprises and protecting a more sustainable planet.

“This is a time of amazing productivity gains on the horizon,” he said, “a time of a fundamental paradigm shift in our industry, and a time to re-imagine the future for AI, to work not only in the cloud, but at our fingertips, and within our own organizations.”

Yang stated the company still believes the future lies in a future of “hybrid AI” - an idea Lenovo first put forward a year ago, but one he says is still pertinent today.

This vision sees enterprise foundation models, and the private cloud, co-exist with a public foundation model and public cloud - all complimenting the others to deliver “enhanced outcomes for different customer needs”, Yang declared.
