Last week, I was at Lenovo’s headquarters for an update on its products, services, and progress in AI. The contrast between Dell and Lenovo is pretty stark; in some ways, they are opposite in terms of messaging and execution.
Instead of fragmenting, Lenovo’s effort has been unifying. Its “Smarter AI for All” vision, reiterated at its annual Tech World event, is predicated on a “hybrid AI” model. This model recognizes that AI will run in two places: on the device for speed, privacy, and personalization, and in the cloud for power and vast knowledge.
