What's New: Intel in collaboration with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Ministry of Education today announced the launch of the AI For All initiative with the purpose of creating a basic understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) for everyone in India. Based on Intel's AI For Citizens program, AI For All is a 4-hour, self-paced learning program that demystifies AI in an inclusive manner. It is as applicable to a student, a stay-at-home parent as it is to a professional in any field or even a senior citizen. The program aims to introduce AI to 1 million citizens in its first year. "AI has the power to drive faster economic growth, address population-scale challenges and benefit the lives and livelihoods of people. The AI For All initiative based on Intel's AI For Citizens program aims to make India AI-ready by building awareness and appreciation of AI among everyone. The program further strengthens Intel's commitment to collaborating with the Government of India to reach the full potential of AI and further the vision of a digitally-empowered India."

Intel Corp on Tuesday launched its latest processor, its first using artificial intelligence (AI), designed for large computing centres. The chip, developed at its development facility in Haifa, Israel, is known as Nervana NNP-I or Springhill and is based on a 10 nanometre Ice Lake processor that will allow it to cope with high workloads using minimal amounts of energy, Intel said. Intel said its first AI product comes after it had invested more than $120 million in three AI startups in Israel. "In order to reach a future situation of'AI everywhere', we have to deal with huge amounts of data generated and make sure organisations are equipped with what they need to make effective use of the data and process them where they are collected," said Naveen Rao, general manager of Intel's artificial intelligence products group. "These computers need acceleration for complex AI applications."

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Intel Corp on Tuesday launched its latest processor that will be its first using artificial intelligence (AI) and is designed for large computing centers. The chip, developed at its development facility in Haifa, Israel, is known as Nervana NNP-T or Springhill and is based on a 10 nanometer Ice Lake processor that will allow it to cope with high workloads using minimal amounts of energy, Intel said. Intel said its first AI product comes after it had invested more than $120 million in three AI startups in Israel. "In order to reach a future situation of'AI everywhere', we have to deal with huge amounts of data generated and make sure organizations are equipped with what they need to make effective use of the data and process them where they are collected," said Naveen Rao, general manager of Intel's artificial intelligence products group. "These computers need acceleration for complex AI applications."

As rival chip makers work to target workloads using artificial intelligence, Intel Corp. is upping the ante by unifying its own efforts under a dedicated business group announced today. The division will be led by Naveen Rao, a veteran of the semiconductor industry with a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience. He came aboard last year after Intel acquired his deep learning startup, Nervana Systems Inc., in a deal reportedly worth over $400 million. The executive wrote in a blog post that the Artificial Intelligence Products Group will work to "align resources from across the company to include engineering, labs, software and more" around a common roadmap. Intel, which has acquired Altera Corp., Nervana, Movidius Ltd. and other intellectual property in recent years, late last year accelerated its efforts in AI, announcing new chips, software and partnerships.

The days of lugging around a laptop computer are on the way out, because you may soon be able to fit a portable computer into your wallet. Intel introduced its latest mini-computer at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas yesterday. Called the Compute Card, the device is so small and thin it's the size of a credit card, just slightly thicker.

From ISC 2016 in Frankfurt, Germany, this week, Intel Corp. launched the second-generation Xeon Phi product family, formerly code-named Knights Landing, aimed at HPC and machine learning workloads. The company had been shipping "Knights Landing" silicon to early customers for the last six months and was waiting to ramp up production before making the product generally available. The window also gave OEMs time to complete their readiness, said Intel's Charlie Wuischpard, vice president of the Data Center Group and general manager of High Performance Computing Platform Group, in a media pre-briefing. Those OEMs include the usual names: Cray, HPE, Lenovo, Dell and others. The most distinguishing feature of the chip is that it's a bootable host CPU -- unlike its predecessor "Knights Corner," which is a coprocessor that connects over PCIe.
