Demystifying the AI Infrastructure Stack

As companies increase their investments in artificial intelligence (AI), there is growing pressure on developers and engineers to deploy AI projects more quickly and at greater scale across the enterprise. Simply evaluating the ever-expanding universe of AI tools and services-- often designed for different users and purposes--is a significant challenge in this growing and fast-moving environment. To address this challenge, we have created the AI Infrastructure Stack, a landscape map that brings greater clarity to the AI ecosystem by charting the layers of the AI technical stack and the vendors within each layer. At Intel Capital this helps us identify the investments we believe will have the greatest positive impact on the future of AI, but it also helps developers and engineers identify the resources they need to deliver their AI projects in the most efficient and effective way possible. This technical infrastructure stack is focused on horizontal solutions that address fundamental needs in developing AI, regardless of the type of company or industry where it's being deployed.
