It’s Tomorrow
The next world-changing technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), has arrived. Much like the Internet, the PC, and the mainframe before it, AI has now captured the attention and imagination of the world at large with applications like Bard and ChatGPT. For enterprises, AI represents a fundamental shift in nearly every aspect of business: product development, marketing, and customer interaction & support. Lenovo is uniquely positioned to help customers navigate that shift with AI-Ready products and solutions designed to deliver faster times to results.
The Most AI-Ready Portfolio, Anywhere
Over five years ago, Lenovo made a $1.2B investment in AI, developing products and solutions across its businesses that would be AI-Ready. Today, AI is a $2B business at Lenovo, and we have the industry’s most comprehensive AI portfolio, with 71 different systems engineered for AI.
- ThinkSystem Servers – Starting with the award-winning, built-for AI SR670 V2, ThinkSystem servers are built to deliver the performance, security, and uptime needed in AI deployments. Nearly 30 ThinkSystem servers are built for machine learning (ML), training, and inference workloads.
- ThinkEdge – Compact, ruggedized systems built for AI where the data is created: in remote locations in the field, at the point of contact. ThinkEdge systems are purpose-built to deliver AI at the edge.
- ThinkStation – Powerful workstations designed for complex ML and algorithm development. These systems are built to reduce the labor-intensive tasks of pre-processing and data preparation, where data scientists spend nearly 90% of their time.
- ThinkAgile – With AI-enabled ThinkAgile HX solutions, customers can leverage AI and data analytics to build intelligence into business operations allowing our customers to deliver smart services and monetize their data quickly and easily.

Establishing Global Partnerships, “at scale”
Perhaps most importantly, Lenovo recognizes that AI solutions will be delivered by multiple parties with different skills and offerings which customers value. We have established AI partnerships that run the gamut from startups to trillion-dollar technology behemoths.
NVIDIA announced at their recent GTC conference that Lenovo was the platform they and Microsoft were building the OVX/Digital Twin cloud solution. We have made those building blocks into orderable solutions from Lenovo so that customers can develop their Digital Twin environment on the same foundation as NVIDIA and Microsoft. Those solutions run from a single pod to a rack to 32 pods across 8 racks in a truly scalable approach.
A year ago, we announced the AI Innovators program to help incubate AI solutions from 25+ companies with great technologies that may have needed more depth and reach which Lenovo provides. Today, there are over 45 partners in the program with over 150 solutions, ready for deployment in customer environments ranging from retail to restaurants, energy to logistics and fintech to manufacturing. We have developed true partnerships with a diverse pool of solutions providers to deliver a customer-first deployment model.
Bring your own POC
Lenovo has four AI Innovation Centers worldwide that help customers evaluate solutions, execute Proof Of Concepts (POCs), and optimize configurations for AI solutions. Those centers are in Morrisville, NC, in the US, Stuttgart, Germany, Taipei, Taiwan, and Beijing in China. Customers can test their home-grown AI projects or the solution of an AI Innovator partner. This is a huge advantage when it comes time to deploy and implement an AI solution.
Ensuring that AI is Smarter Technology for All
AI, like all groundbreaking technologies that came before it, is not without the possibility it may be misused. Lenovo is deeply concerned that AI be developed and used consistently with our values. We have developed the Lenovo Responsible AI Committee to ensure our solutions and those of our AI innovator partners meet requirements that protect end users and ensure that AI is used fairly, ethically, and responsibly.
Conclusion
It is indeed tomorrow. Artificial Intelligence will be a part of everything our customers do from now on. They will need partners to guide them on their journey to AI-driven enterprises. With our announcements today, Lenovo continues its leadership in AI with systems, solutions, and partnerships designed to drive a faster time to value for customers’ AI investments.
