Lenovo unveils new AI portfolio at Tech World event

Lenovo showcases new AI technologies, including Hybrid AI Advantage, sustainable cooling, and healthcare advancements, at the 2024 Tech World event.

Lenovo has announced a major expansion of its AI capabilities at the annual Tech World event, held in Seattle, Washington. The technology leader showcased a comprehensive range of AI solutions, services, and devices, designed to drive faster AI adoption for individuals, businesses, and industries. With a focus on delivering “Smarter AI for All,” Lenovo introduced several new technologies aimed at boosting transformation and offering returns across sectors.

Embracing hybrid AI

Building on last year’s progress, Lenovo’s new offerings further embrace hybrid AI, combining both public and private clouds for seamless integration. The new portfolio includes “Hybrid AI Advantage” for enterprises, the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 Aura Edition AI laptop, Lenovo AI Now local AI agent, and the Lenovo Learning Zone software platform. Lenovo also revealed the latest generation of its Neptune liquid cooling system for servers, designed to promote more sustainable AI.

At the event, Lenovo showcased how AI is now delivering measurable outcomes, with support from partners including AMD, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm. Lenovo’s Chairman and CEO, Yuanqing Yang, said, “Building on the announcements from last year’s Tech World, we have been actively delivering on our hybrid AI vision for customers and partners across the globe.” He went on to note that AI is already improving productivity for businesses and enhancing individuals’ quality of life. Yang added, “Our strategy is to combine modularisation with customisation, so that we can respond quickly to customer needs while tailoring our solutions for them.”

Business efficiency through AI

Yuanqing Yang and NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang introduced Lenovo’s new Hybrid AI Advantage framework, which helps businesses quickly turn AI-generated intelligence into real-world results. As part of this framework, Lenovo launched the AI Library, a collection of ready-to-deploy AI templates. These templates cover multiple industries and business functions, including marketing, IT operations, and product development, making AI adoption more accessible to companies.

The latest version of Lenovo’s Neptune liquid cooling system, now in its sixth generation, promises to reduce data centre power consumption by up to 40%. These systems are designed to handle AI workloads at any scale, bringing efficiency and sustainability to enterprise computing.

Additionally, Lenovo continues to deliver AI innovations across its product range, which includes PCs, smartphones, servers, and cloud solutions. The newly introduced Lenovo AI Now, a local AI agent, transforms PCs into personal assistants, while the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 Aura Edition is tailored to enhance hybrid work environments. The Lenovo Learning Zone software platform was also unveiled, providing AI-driven personalised learning experiences.

AI driving social impact

Lenovo’s AI developments are not just limited to business and consumer tech. The company is also focusing on using AI for social good. At Tech World 2024, Lenovo introduced Alzheimer’s Intelligence, an AI-based avatar companion designed to support people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. This initiative builds on Lenovo’s Work For Humankind project, which leverages AI to address social issues.

Doug Fisher, Lenovo’s Chief Security and AI Officer, emphasised the company’s human-centred approach to AI development. “We innovate without compromising our values and commitment to serving our diverse communities,” Fisher said. He also pointed out Lenovo’s commitment to privacy, transparency, and responsibility when it comes to AI initiatives.

In a move towards healthcare innovation, Lenovo announced a partnership with InCor, Latin America’s largest cardiac hospital. Together, they introduced an AI-powered arrhythmia detection platform, a small wearable device for real-time monitoring, underscoring Lenovo’s efforts to use AI in medical advancements.
