Intel lays out its AI strategy until 2020

Intel has flexed its AI muscles and beefed up its services with a bunch of new products and collaborations, in an effort to adapt to the technological upheaval of intelligent software. At Intel's first "AI Day" in San Francisco, Brian Krzanich, CEO, said the company is "continuing to evolve" and working to provide an "end-to-end AI solution" to allow companies to easily integrate intelligence into their infrastructures. As data generated by companies continues to pile up, the interest in analyzing that data using machine learning and AI has been piqued. The largest technology companies are all making big investments and staking their claims in AI. But while companies such as Google and Microsoft have developed libraries of machine learning tools such as TensorFlow and Cognitive Toolkit, Intel is more focused on updating servers to cope with the intense computation required to process and train AI systems.
