AI Hardware and Software Accelerators

Every October the brightest minds in the global AI ecosystem convene at World Summit AI to take on the most compelling challenges in AI and to set the global AI agenda. This year Wei Li, Intel’s VP/GM of AI and Analytics, was onsite to deliver his keynote speech on enabling AI Everywhere with Hardware and Software Accelerators.

Today’s AI is complex with data often being siloed, resulting in 87% of AI concepts failing to become a reality. Wei argues that what the industry needs now is the software and hardware together to bridge the gap between data and insights. In order to accelerate innovation in AI, that bridge needs to have simplicity and performance to make sure the developers can get their solutions more easily. An open platform, built upon productive tools and framework optimizations, is critical to democratizing AI so that adoption can be accelerated in all industries.

While in Amsterdam, Wei Li met with Ronald van Loon, Top Global AI & IoT Influencer, Intel Ambassador & CEO at Intelligent World, to further discuss the ideas behind “AI Everywhere”. They cover what it is, what kind of components you need, and what the end-to-end requirements of an open ecosystem are.
