Unveiling the next phase of its growth strategy, Lenovo has announced that it will be investing $1 billion over the next three years to drive AI deployment for businesses around the world. This comes as the company records $2 billion in AI infrastructure revenue.
The investment aims to further expand the company’s AI-ready portfolio of smart devices, infrastructure solutions and services to enable the use of generative AI and help its customers make cognitive decisions at scale throughout remote locations across financial, manufacturing, healthcare, retail and smart city applications.
As part of the investment, Lenovo is committing US$100 million to grow the Lenovo AI Innovators program. The program has already delivered over 150 turnkey solutions created with 45 leading ISV partners in its first year to help businesses implement generative AI and immersive metaverse simulations. Some of the solutions built with the AI Innovators Program Sunlight.io, WaitTime, and Smartia.
Leveraging the AI Innovators’ end-to-end ecosystem, the new solutions aim to help customers swiftly deploy and take advantage of cutting-edge AI capabilities such as generative AI, computer vision, voice AI, and virtual assistants.
“Building on our more than 150 AI solutions, this pivotal investment further expands the development of AI-ready infrastructure solutions that will help customers overcome deployment complexities and more easily implement AI to deliver transformative services and products to the market,” Kirk Skaugen, President of Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group, said in a statement.
The Lenovo AI Innovators program includes an ecosystem of industry-leading partners including Nvidia, Intel and DeepBrain AI, to help customers extract value from their data. For instance, Lenovo incorporates NVIDIA’s high-speed computing platform, delivering the quickest time to solutions in various industry sectors, all while minimizing total cost of ownership.
In collaboration with DeepBrain AI, Lenovo is introducing an end-to-end solution for generative AI virtual assistants. These assistants can be paired with powerful large language models (LLMs) to provide round-the-clock automated concierge services in retail and hospitality environments.
Lenovo has recently launched its AI Discover Center of Excellence, which provides its enterprise clients access to Lenovo data scientists, AI architects and engineers to help explore, deploy and scale AI solutions ethically.
