Lenovo Announces New AI features, devices, and concepts at Tech World 2024

Lenovo revealed its new AI innovations at the Tech World 2024 in Seattle yesterday. The tech company announced new products like a new AI agent called Lenovo AI Now, a new AI laptop called ThinkPad™ X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 Aura Edition, and an educational software platform called Lenovo Learning Zone.

During the AI-focused event, the tech firm also introduced AI solutions and concepts like ThinkShield™ AI PC security, and Lenovo “AI Buddy”—already considered a future Amazon Echo rival—a visual interactive module.

“At Lenovo, our vision is to deliver smarter technology for all, with an unwavering commitment to shaping a future powered by AI,” said Luca Rossi, President of the Intelligent Devices Group at Lenovo, according to the press release. “Our focus on personalized, productive, and protected experiences ensures that our AI-driven ecosystem helps unlock creativity, enhances collaboration, and seamlessly integrates into any digital environment.”

One of the new stellar products is Lenovo AI Now. Lenovo’s new AI Agent can transform traditional compatible PCs into AI devices. The new technology has been built on Meta’s Large Language Model Llama 3.1 and enables real-time interaction, which will remain locally stored.

Users will be able to use Lenovo AI Now to manage documents, transcribe meetings, adjust brightness, search images or documents on the PC, or generate text from queries.

The new ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 Aura Edition can transition from table to computer mode for different work scenarios, integrates Copilot to optimize its performance and will assist users with different AI features. The new integration will be available in late November.

According to Cybernews, the company revealed more models, the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition, and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition, all powered by the newest processors.

The learning zone platform will allow users to access live classes, and transcript information and turn it into smart notes or quizzes.

Lenovo also introduced proof of concepts, including “AI Buddy,” which is an assistant that interacts with users with a more personalized experience and works as a task manager and productivity tool.

We’re live for our 2nd keynote from #LenovoTechWorld to learn how we’re building a smarter future for all with hybrid AI, personalized business solutions, sustainable optimization, & more.https://t.co/i6LUN93n0n
