The Lenovo AI Technology Center (LATC)—Lenovo’s global AI Center of Excellence—is driving our transformation into an AI‑first organization. We are assembling a world‑class team of researchers, engineers, and innovators to position Lenovo and its customers at the forefront of the generational shift toward AI. Lenovo is one of the world’s leading computing companies, delivering products across the entire technology spectrum, spanning wearables, smartphones (Motorola), laptops (ThinkPad, Yoga), PCs, workstations, servers, and services/solutions.
This unmatched breadth gives us a unique canvas for AI innovation, including the ability to rapidly deploy cutting‑edge foundation models and to enable flexible, hybrid‑cloud, and agentic computing across our full product portfolio. To this end, we are building the next wave of AI core technologies and platforms that leverage and evolve with the fast‑moving AI ecosystem, including novel model and agentic orchestration & collaboration across mobile, edge, and cloud resources.
