China's Lenovo, the world's largest personal computer maker, on Tuesday (January 6) said it has teamed up with U.S. AI chip leader Nvidia to help AI cloud providers quickly put data centers into operation, as it strives to establish itself in AI.

The technology company, which also makes servers, made the announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas while also showcasing an AI platform, concept devices and the first foldable smartphone under its Motorola brand.

Under the data center program, Lenovo said it will offer its liquid-cooled hybrid AI infrastructure alongside Nvidia's computing platforms to help AI cloud providers reduce deployment time to "weeks."

Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing also unveiled Qira, a personal AI system designed to work across Lenovo and Motorola PCs, phones, tablets and wearables, even in the background. The system would also be able to provide services from the likes of travel company Expedia, Lenovo said.
