Maker of ThinkPads Lenovo is set to unleash a bombshell on Microsoft by launching its own artificial intelligence (AI) operating system (OS) later this year.
The tech giant’s top boss, Liu Jun, said the new OS would be “built around multi-terminal products, focusing on AI PCs and personal agents”.
Lenovo announced its latest range of AI PCs, which will hit the shelves in the first half of this year. The company said it will show off its cutting-edge AI devices at MWC, the largest event for the mobile industry, in February.
The company also teased two new device concepts that will “challenge the traditional PC and smartphone form factors”. These AI PCs will have amazing features, such as natural language interaction and smart terminals that protect your privacy and security.
Lenovo’s AI OS will boost the AI PC market and take its AI hardware to the next level.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has dashed the hopes of millions of Windows fans by confirming that there will be no Windows 12. The software giant said the next OS update will be called Windows 11 version 24H2 instead of Windows 12, which was spotted in a leaked build last year.
Microsoft’s decision will likely annoy many Windows 10 users who can’t upgrade to Windows 11 because of its strict requirements. Microsoft seems more interested in adding AI tools to its products and services than making its OS more accessible.
Lenovo could take advantage of this situation by offering an AI-powered OS that works on more devices and gives more users access to AI.
