On the back of its recent announcement of reaching over US$2-billion in revenue from AI infrastructure, technology manufacturer Lenovo says it looks forward to “democratising AI in South Africa” and will work to enable intelligence directly at the edge.
The company’s strategy is to deliver AI to the source of data and thereby simplify the often complex implementation of new AI capabilities. It says it will use its partner network to build turnkey solutions that enable computing intelligence directly at the edge. The company stated, “As the amount of worldwide data grows exponentially, next-generation infrastructure technologies that deliver datacentre-like computing to the edge are critical to empowering AI.”
