It was mostly an NDA event where Lenovo executives discussed their strategy, tactics, roadmaps, and more for transforming the company from a great hardware provider into an even greater AI leader.<\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"color: grey; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;\">In this episode, I recap and analyze the event with Leonard Lee of Next Curve. We discuss what being an &#8220;AI company&#8221; means to Lenovo, what is needed for the transformation, how the latest trends like personalization are helping them, and how the company is best positioned with the pocket-to-cloud approach and complementary businesses, with Intelligent Devices Group (IDG), Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG), and Services and Solutions Group (SSG).<\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"color: grey; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;\">We also contrast how, at last year&#8217;s GIAC, \u201cHybrid AI&#8221; was a vision, and this year&#8217;s GIAC showed the early proofs and the roadmap for realizing that vision.<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Listen &amp;
