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.

AI tools and services are being used or offered by companies around the world to help fight the coronavirus pandemic. In a best-case scenario, whereby the virus transmission is massively mitigated, researchers from Imperial College London predict "there would still be in the order of 250,000 deaths in GB, and 1.1–1.2 million in the US" resulting from the coronavirus. Imperial College London's analysis landed in Washington over the weekend and it's said to be the reason behind the US stepping up its response. British PM Johnson warned that further measures in the UK will likely be introduced in the coming days and a coronavirus bill for emergency powers is making its way to the House of Commons. Much like in wartime, technologies and social experiments that under normal circumstances would take years or decades to be tested and implemented will be rushed into use in days or weeks.
