The AI boom is reportedly catching up with almost every tech company, especially rival chipmakers like Nvidia and Broadcom. Chipmaker Intel is reportedly working with multiple consulting firms to build ChatGPT-like apps for customers.
The Information reported that Intel is also selling its specialized AI, app-building software directly to corporate clients, citing sources.
According to the report, “Intel began the project with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) earlier this year but has added further consulting-firm partners.”
Intel has not yet responded to the report.
BCG and Intel announced a strategic partnership in May of this year to enable generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) using end-to-end Intel AI hardware and software. This partnership will enable enterprise clients to access fully custom and proprietary solutions while maintaining the security of their sensitive data in isolated, trusted environments.
Employees at BCG were able to retrieve and summarize information via semantic search that had previously been buried in lengthy lists of multi-page documents thanks to a custom natural language chatbot interface powered by Intel AI hardware and software.
“In order for enterprises to safely benefit from the technology, generative AI requires a truly democratized approach that enables more secure and scalable choice,” stated Sandra Rivera, executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s Data Center and AI Group.
In a previous statement, Rivera stated, “Our partnership with BCG enables us to assist clients in developing generative AI applications that necessitate technology optimized throughout the whole stack entirely inside their selected security perimeter.”
In the midst of an AI push, Intel is purportedly getting ready for Windows 12 with its Meteor Lake desktop platform, hinting at a “Windows refresh” for 2024.
When the 5th generation of Intel Xeon processors are released on December 14, they will offer the world’s data centers a combination of faster memory and performance enhancements while consuming the same amount of power, according to a recent company preview.
As stated by Intel, artificial intelligence (AI) is bringing about the “Siliconomy,” a new era of worldwide expansion propelled by the magic of silicon and software in which AI computers will rule our lives.
