In this,
@ebizexec and I recap and analyze
#LenovoInnovationWorld &
@IFA_Berlin.
We discuss how
@Lenovo gave a glimpse of its
#PersonalAI vision, with the announcement of new
@nvidia #RTXSpark #Yoga laptops, powerful workstations, beautiful smartphones, and watches, as well as
#Qira platform that leverages its “pocket to cloud” reach; and how
@AMD , through its
#Threadripper Halo super workstation, is bringing
#Edge AI to
#OnPrem for
#enterprises and more. We also explore what the spread of AI and robots means for society and how
#IFA has almost become a consumer white-goods show.
