In this Work For Humankind project, Lenovo isn’t just showcasing innovative tech. It sheds light on a pressing issue: life in the digital age and its impact on Gen Z’s mental health. Loneliness, isolation, and anxiety are all too common, but could smarter technology and AI have a positive role to play in mental wellbeing?

Join us in exploring the intersection of technology and mental health. And, discover how AI isn’t just shaping the future – it’s reshaping how we connect with ourselves and each other.

AI for Good

Although a hugely technical innovation, the avatars were created for a real, human moment: a chat with a loved one. Lenovo recognizes the importance of achieving a healthy digital balance for mental wellbeing. A recent Lenovo study revealed that 60% of Gen Z wish they could have more conversations in the real world with loved ones. Although this technology is not available to the public, it demonstrates the potential of AI to enhance lives in the future.

Discover how we did this in our “making of” film and uncover how smarter tech and AI is being used for good.
