Refreshingly, the answer is quite simple, but like all things simple, the path to achievement may be a lot more complicated. It’s worth noting that AI is a monolithic term that encompasses a variety of computing modalities, all of which, thankfully for silicon vendors like Intel, consume vast amounts of processing power as well as system memory and bandwidth. Intel sees three things as being determining factors in its AI strategy: the market is in its infancy, it’s about hardware and software, and to democratize
