The head of the worlds 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, its 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

Lenovo was also been keen to push the AI PC industry, which is set to explode 
over the next few years, with Yang saying the company is, only the beginning 
of our journey. 

Our core concept is, one personal AI, multiple devices, he said,  to deliver 
a cross-device, cross-ecosystem, seamless and secure user experience. 

Overall, Yang struck an unsurprisingly positive note about the future of AI, 
with Lenovo showcasing use cases ranging from creating a digital twin of a 
thousand-year-old wooden pagoda for mixed reality experiences, to creating 
digital avatars for ALS sufferers to give them a voice. 

Lenovo is optimistic about the new opportunities that will be unleashed by 
AI, he declared. 

"We stand on the brink of a new era, defined by AI, we have the opportunity 
to tackle some of the worlds biggest challengesImagine a world where 
technology and humanity thrive side by side - this is not just a dream, but 
it is within our grasp, if we choose to act, with a vision of smarter AI for 
all." More from TechRadar Pro AMD Advancing AI 2024 event shows that the AI 
PC is making progress, but still needs time to cook AI PCs. Is it all hype, 
should you switch, and if so, when? PC sales are stalling as worries over 
costs and upgrade hassle hit hard
