Lenovo and AI
Lenovo is a global technology powerhouse and one of the world's largest PC manufacturers, serving millions of customers in 180 markets worldwide. The company designs, develops, and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of devices including personal computers, tablets, workstations, servers, and storage solutions. Lenovo is renowned for its award-winning ThinkPad and ThinkCentre business systems, Yoga consumer devices, and Legion gaming products. Beyond hardware, Lenovo provides end-to-end IT solutions and services for enterprises, including data centre infrastructure, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation services. Headquartered in Beijing, China and Morrisville, North Carolina, Lenovo is committed to delivering smarter technology for all through innovative products and services that empower businesses and consumers to achieve more.
For Lenovo, AI is not just a technology trend - it is fundamental to remaining competitive and relevant in an increasingly evolving technology landscape. Through product innovation Lenovo aims to streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and provide more secure, personalised computing experiences by integrating AI across its product portfolio. The group has introduced AI PC devices, including ThinkPad, ThinkBook, Yoga, and IdeaPad laptops, designed to transform both enterprise and consumer user experiences.
Lenovo has implemented AI extensively in its own manufacturing operations. The results have been dramatic: 24% more production line capacity, 19% higher production volumes, a 3.5X increase in on-time deliveries, and the acceleration of production schedule planning from two hours to two minutes.
The Group's innovation investment is focused on AI, specifically building a foundational AI technology platform, driving breakthroughs in agentic AI, as well as continuously developing technologies and their applications into products. Lenovo's vision of Smarter AI for All, now very much a reality, is unleashing human potential.
Why AI Security is Critically Important for Lenovo
Security remains top-of-mind for business leaders due to various market and technology trends such as the shift to hybrid work, increasing adoption of AI, and proliferation of data and devices. In the third global annual survey of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) conducted by Lenovo, they discovered that organisations are struggling to implement AI-powered solutions quickly, effectively and securely. AI-era attacks demand AI-era defense and as AI becomes widespread, it presents new considerations and challenges for IT security especially with the proliferation of AI-powered cyberattacks. The need to address AI security effectively and swiftly has become paramount.
Mileva collaborated closely with Lenovo, consulting directly with the organisation to deeply understand their unique security landscape and identify specific learning objectives tailored for a broad range of attendees. Harriet Farlow curated Mileva’s threat intelligence and expert content to deliver a high-impact briefing session covering the current state of AI, foundational definitions, AI literacy, intersections with infrastructure and hardware, and critical security implications. Each session was carefully structured as an intelligence-style briefing designed for maximum strategic impact, while incorporating interactive tools like Slido and active audience engagement to ensure objectives were clearly met and actionable strategies were defined. This partnership has enabled Lenovo to proactively enhance its security strategies and further its commitment to safer, smarter technology integration.
