In July,  Lenovo joined the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) AI Skills Coalition, a global initiative led in partnership with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to address the growing worldwide gap in AI skills and digital literacy.

The Coalition brings together governments, industry leaders, and academic institutions to advance AI education and accelerate progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its mission is to democratize AI learning, bridge the global digital divide, and ensure inclusivity by reaching youth, women, and underserved communities with accessible and multilingual resources.

As a joint effort across Lenovo, this initiative builds on the company’s Smarter AI for All” commitment to make AI more inclusive and responsible. Beyond building powerful AI systems, Lenovo believes that empowering people with AI literacy is a cornerstone of responsible innovation.

Lenovo promotes AI literacy and digital skills through global education initiatives and partnerships with academic institutions, helping individuals, businesses, and communities harness AI to improve productivity, drive innovation, and foster equitable access to technology.

“Joining the ITU AI Skills Coalition reflects Lenovo’s belief that responsible AI innovation goes hand-in-hand with building AI literacy worldwide,” said Shama Patari, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel Ethics & Compliance, Government Relations & Global Trade Regulations, Lenovo.

Through this collaboration, Lenovo is deepening its role in shaping inclusive AI ecosystems globally. By working alongside ITU, UNDP, and other partners, the company aims to ensure the benefits of AI are broadly shared, bridging digital divides, strengthening human capital, and building the skills and capacities needed for sustainable and equitable development.
