"Nobody can avoid AI - but it will not replace humans" - Lenovo CEO explains why your next work PC could be an AI-enabled device (www.techradar.com)

Lenovo CEO Yuanqing Yang announced that by the end of 2026, approximately half of enterprise-ready PCs will be AI-enabled, driven by the company's new Qira AI model. In a Q&A at CES 2026, Yang emphasized the growing presence of AI in the workplace, predicting that 15% of PCs will incorporate AI technology by the end of this year. While acknowledging the challenges of costs and predicting future developments in AI, he underscored that AI is not merely a trend but a transformative force that will enhance human productivity, creativity, and competitiveness. Lenovo aims to integrate AI as a tool for augmenting human potential rather than replacing it, with a strong focus on responsible AI development. Chief Technology Officer Tolga Kurtoglu highlighted the need for agility in Lenovo's approach, as the fast-paced evolution of AI makes long-term roadmaps impractical. Instead, the company seeks to adapt quickly to market demands and user feedback to remain at the forefront of innovation in the rapidly changing AI landscape.
