AI Emerging Technologies to Watch

One of the most exciting projects I have been lucky enough to work on at Intel was leading the engineering team tasked with designing, implementing and deploying the software platform that enabled large-scale training based on Habana Gaudi processors for MLPerf. I learned a lot on how to scale AI Training across a large hardware cluster, as well the challenges of building just building a data center. One thing that stood out was the immense amount of hardware, manual labor and power required to drive such a compute-intensive effort. Modern AI/ML solutions have shown that given a large amount of computing resources, we can create amazing solutions to complex problems. Applications leveraging solutions such as DALL·E and GPT-3 to generate images or create human-like research papers are truly mind-blowing.
