AI: the two letters that dominate every business and technology conversation today. Having been a part of the technology industry and Lenovo since its inception, I’ve had the privilege of closely witnessing the evolution of AI – going from theoretical concepts to practical applications. Indeed, we’ve used AI at Lenovo for decades to improve our devices, services, and solutions. But now we’ve hit an unprecedented tipping point: the era of generative AI.
I’m excited to see AI have its time in the sun! We’re experiencing—and accelerating—the convergence of vast data availability, advancements in deep learning and computational power, devices ready to bring this power to everyone, and real social impact.
However, despite the generative AI revolution and AI’s seeming omnipresence, our studies show that more than 60% of CIOs find it extremely challenging to quickly demonstrate ROI and tangible business outcomes from AI. Our studies also highlight CIO desire for tried and trusted partners who can navigate the ever-changing AI maze.
Fortunately, at Lenovo, we have the vision, expertise, and comprehensive AI portfolio to answer the call. You can see all of that in action at our Tech World event this October, where our chairman and CEO YY will be joined by global tech leaders to reveal the present and future of AI.
Now, I’m thrilled to share a new way to experience how Lenovo delivers Smarter AI for all—how we are the perfect entryway into AI-powered transformation.
To that end, meet the Lenovo Portal.
I’m personally very proud of the creative team for finding such an evocative metaphor and image for those about to embark on their AI journey. Let’s explore this portal and how Lenovo is bringing AI to everyone.
Innovation meets experience
Smarter AI is not about racing to deploy the latest AI models. Or endlessly pushing for more AI. In fact, it’s not even about the AI. Smarter AI is about empowering you: our customers, our partners, and our communities around the world.
Lenovo offers an unparalleled, comprehensive portfolio to meet AI needs anywhere and at any scale. Individual creator? Non-profit organization? Data-intensive enterprise? Regardless of your organization size, industry, or AI maturity, our AI experts can help you put AI to work quickly, cost-effectively, and at scale to meet your goals. No wonder, then, that we’re gaining recognition as a worldwide leader and AI innovator.
We do this partly through hybrid AI, our singular ability to seamlessly integrate bespoke AI across personal, enterprise, and public applications. And in all instances, we prioritize secure and responsible AI, from inclusive training data to breakthrough liquid cooling of data centers.
Transforming experiences for businesses and individuals
We leverage our expertise, turnkey solutions, and agility to empower iconic brands including Lotus, Kroger, Telefonica, Ducati, and many more. Those deployed solutions harness the power of edge computing for real-time insights, computer vision, and customized AI analysis.
Beyond helping businesses, we bring the transformative power of AI to those who need it most, removing barriers for people with disabilities so they can reimagine what’s possible and access more opportunities. These groundbreaking AI solutions apply to Brazilian sign language translation, students with special needs, people silenced by neurodegenerative diseases, and mental health for generations increasingly online.
We also deploy AI to enhance our own operations (what we like to call ‘Lenovo powers Lenovo’), from manufacturing to customer service and sustainability. AI transforms how we manage our global supply chain and deliver even better services to our customers.
A universal AI entry point
Today, we’re inviting everyone to experience our new campaign delivering Smarter AI for all. We wanted to encapsulate the depth and breadth of our work and invite you all to join us as leaders, participants, and visionaries in this new era for AI. In a way, we wanted to create an open invitation.
Grounded in our wider vision of Smarter technology for all, the campaign was a result of the tireless collaboration of hundreds of employees across Lenovo, including our corporate marketing team, business groups, and regional teams, along with essential insight from our AI solutions and services experts.
The visual storytelling device we call the Lenovo Portal was inspired by our Lenovo logo—a way to reimagine something familiar. The Lenovo Portal is symbolic of the transformation that our solutions and services can drive for our customers, partners, employees, industries, and the world at large. I personally cannot wait to see our Portal launch across key markets worldwide, on TV, digital and social media, out-of-home experiences, print, events, and emerging media channels. I am very proud of the team behind this. Stay tuned to see it out in the world!
AI is galvanizing people and businesses to reimagine what’s possible. That’s why Lenovo is committed to bringing AI to as many people and organizations as we can, to bring your visions to life and transform the world. I’m excited about the infinite possibilities that Lenovo, together with our customers and partners, can help unlock in our pursuit of a smarter future for everyone.
Join us on our journey delivering Smarter AI for all. Oh, and don’t miss Lenovo Tech World 2024 for a front-row seat to experience the future of AI.
