"While most attention in the AI race is focused on model builders and cloud platforms, Lenovo sits closer to millions of users than most companies. As the world's top PC maker by volume, Lenovo ships tens of millions of devices every year. What it decides to ship, bundle, and integrate can directly shape how AI shows up in many everyday lives."
"At a flashy event on Tuesday at The Sphere in Las Vegas, it introduced Qira, a system-level, cross-device AI assistant designed to live across Lenovo laptops and Motorola phones. It's Lenovo's most ambitious AI effort to date and a rare look at how a hardware giant with global reach is thinking about integrating AI more deeply. Jeff Snow, Lenovo's head of AI product, told me how Qira came together, why the company is deliberately avoiding a single exclusive AI partnership,"
Lenovo is the world's top PC maker by volume and ships tens of millions of devices every year. Lenovo's decisions about devices, bundles, and integrations can directly shape how AI appears in everyday user experiences. Lenovo introduced Qira at CES at The Sphere in Las Vegas as a system-level, cross-device AI assistant for Lenovo laptops and Motorola phones. Qira is presented as Lenovo's most ambitious AI effort and a move toward deeper AI integration across hardware. Jeff Snow, Lenovo's head of AI product, described development choices, the avoidance of a single exclusive AI partnership, and lessons from earlier experiments like Moto AI and Microsoft's Recall debacle. Qira emerged after an internal reorganization that centralized AI teams previously housed in individual hardware units less than a year ago.
