Intel CEO Brian Krzanich speaks during a keynote address at the Monte Carlo Park Theater during CES 2018 in Las Vegas on January 8, 2018. LAS VEGAS -- Before unleashing a futuristic spectacle during his CES keynote here Monday night, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich addressed the recent security flaws in processors made by it and other chip makers. Krzanich said that more than 90% of Intel's chips deployed in consumer devices in the last five years will be updated to combat the intrusion flaw within a week and the remaining will be updated by the end of January. Last week, Intel and other chip makers acknowledged that potentially-exploitable flaws had been found in its chips that could let hackers access the most private areas of a user's computer or device. There have been no reports of breached consumer data from the weakness.

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich says the chip giant is deeply committed to unlocking the promise of AI. Intel has invested more than $1bn to date in artificial intelligence (AI) start-ups via its Intel Capital arm, according to company CEO Brian Krzanich. This includes investments in companies such as Mighty AI, DataRobot, Lumiata, AEye and others. 'AI will make the impossible possible: advancing research on cancer, Parkinson's disease and brain disorders; helping to find missing children; and furthering scientific efforts in climate change, space exploration and oceanic research' – BRIAN KRZANICH As well as investments, Intel has been pretty acquisitive in the AI start-up space, spending an estimated $16bn in recent years, the majority of which went into Israeli automotive tech player Mobileye, at $15.3bn. A year ago, Intel acquired Irish chip company Movidius for an undisclosed sum, as well as Nervana.

As we have been writing for a while now, artificial intelligence will transform pretty much everything we do in our lives in the next five years. AI is actually in use today helping us to match faces, identify photos, videos, the spoken word, doing our taxes, improving collaboration, and even help in healthcare diagnosis, and soon, will help drive our cars and trucks for us. While AI has been around for a while, the big breakthrough was machine learning using deep neural networks that actually got smarter with more information you threw at it. GPUs, with NVIDIA being the biggest recent beneficiary, have become the most recent standard for cutting edge deep neural network training, and inference today is spread across CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs and even DSPs. AI is a quick moving target and I think it's unwise to think the engines today will be static in the future.
