Lenovo teams up with US chip giants for AI PCs

Chinese technology company Lenovo Group Ltd is partnering with US chip giants such as Intel Corp and Qualcomm Inc to develop AI PCs, or computers with on-device artificial intelligence, in order to meet the growing demand for smarter productivity tools.

Lenovo, which launched China's first batch of AI PCs in Shanghai on Thursday, said these machines can automatically build artwork presentations and synthesize knowledge based on stored documents. They suit a range of users, from primary school students to scientists working in Antarctica, Lenovo said.

Yang Yuanqing, chairman of Lenovo, said the transition of AI from technological breakthroughs to practical applications marks the beginning of the second half of AI's development.
