What changes will AI PC bring to our work and life? This time, Lenovo Group's Chairman and CEO, Yang Yuanqing, intends to reveal the answer himself.
In the days leading up to the Lenovo Tech World Innovation Conference 2024 (April 18th), Lenovo Group released three short films featuring Yang Yuanqing conversing with AI PC, showcasing multiple scenarios of AI implementation on PCs. Yang Yuanqing, who rarely appears in product promotions, demonstrated Lenovo's emphasis and confidence through three questions. This also served as a teaser for the tech event themed "AI for all, making the world AI-filled."
AI's ubiquity relies on PCs, with personal AI twins on the horizon
In the current landscape of personal AI applications, training AI models capable of accurately and efficiently understanding commands to produce desired results poses a challenge for many users. While general-purpose AI models can provide answers, they struggle to meet individualized needs. Who will fill this gap?
In the video, Yang Yuanqing once again mentioned the concept of "AI Twin," which was introduced at the Lenovo Tech World Innovation Conference in 2023.
So who is your artificial intelligence twin? Yang Yuanqing's answer is AI PC, which will be the first-generation product of the artificial intelligence twin (AI Twin).
On April 1st, Yang Yuanqing announced that the truly AI-powered PC with five key features would be unveiled at the upcoming Lenovo Tech World conference.
Lenovo believes a genuine AI PC should possess the following core traits:
Lenovo's AI PC reportedly builds a local knowledge base, processed by personal large models over time, to understand and familiarize itself with users' information and habits, intelligently handling work tasks. During this process, user data remains local, ensuring full security and privacy protection.
As the most powerful computing platform among personal devices, PCs have the greatest potential to be the first terminal for AI deployment. It's foreseeable that more users will possess intelligent productivity tools like AI PC, offering a "co-brain" experience, thus democratizing AI technology.
Beyond personal AI twins, introduced at the 2023 Lenovo Tech World conference was the concept of enterprise-level AI twins (AI Twin). Yang Yuanqing's latest video presentation raises expectations for the imminent iteration of personal and enterprise-level AI twins.
From PC to CP, AI PC extends human capabilities, marking a groundbreaking shift in human-computer relations.
In the video, "AI PC is your CP," Lenovo showcases its vision for the future role of AI PC.
Your future AI-powered personal computer (AI PC) serves as the gateway to both public and personalized large models. It holds your comprehensive personal data and information securely, understanding you better than any public large model. Only you can awaken and utilize it, while it continually learns and adapts to you over time.
In a recent video dialogue, Yang Yuanqing also mentioned a highly topical term—digital immortality.
Recently, various forms of digital life have been the subject of social controversy and attention: some use AI to "resurrect" deceased loved ones or celebrities through pre-existing images; while others can generate digital personas of anyone for a small fee, sparking moral and ethical debates.
However, mere replicas created from images and voices cannot possess human souls and thus do not constitute true digital immortality.
On the other hand, AI PCs can replicate users' information, memories, thoughts, and abilities. Even a century later, this copy remains preserved within the AI PC. From this perspective, an AI Twin seems more like a form of digital immortality.
In this creative video, Yang Yuanqing raises three questions about AI, leaving plenty of room for imagination. More answers may be unveiled at the April 18 Lenovo Tech World 2024 conference.
