Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, noted that as artificial intelligence (AI) has brought new changes in internet, we are facing a new leap from the mobile internet to the smart internet, just like what we achieved from the PC internet to the mobile internet.

"Smart terminal devices and sensors will be everywhere and we are entering an era in which everything is intelligent," he said at the Mobile Internet Forum during the third WIC Thursday.

Yang said driven by AI and internet, every sector will be more service-oriented.

"In the era of smart internet, consumers will not only consider the product itself but also value the services it connects to. A device without content or services will be nothing."
