Lenovo has set its sights on developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) operating system, potentially positioning itself as a formidable competitor to Windows 11. At CES 2024, Liu Jun, executive vice president of Lenovo Group and president of Lenovo China, teased the audience with hints about the imminent release of this groundbreaking AI OS, slated to debut this year.

This move underscores Lenovo's commitment to advancing its artificial intelligence business and solidifying its position as a pioneer in the industry's AI solutions and services.

Lenovo's foray into AI operating systems follows its strategic announcement last year, unveiling a comprehensive full-stack intelligence strategy. This strategy firmly establishes Lenovo as a trailblazer in providing end-to-end AI solutions, distinguishing itself as the first in the industry to achieve a full-stack intelligence layout.

Although specifics about the AI OS are currently scarce, Liu Jun provided insights into its core focus areas. The AI OS will be intricately woven into Lenovo's multi-terminal products, with a particular emphasis on AI-powered PCs and personal agents. The upcoming AI PCs are poised to revolutionize user interaction through multi-modal natural language capabilities, significantly enhancing intent comprehension and user-centric experiences.
