At the event, Sandra Rivera, executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s Data Center and AI Group, highlighted the huge strides that have been made in the realm of artificial intelligence, and the need for the semiconductor industry to keep pace with the world’s growing appetite for data.
“While AI and machine learning has been around for decades, it’s really in these last 10 years… that the rate of capability of these models has vastly accelerated. The world is generating 300 million terabytes of data every day. That would be equivalent to everyone in the US consuming 500 hours of video content every single day.”
Rivera added: “We are at the beginning of AI. It’s a journey that will [continue] for years to come. We see a huge opportunity for Intel and our ecosystem to participate and drive the growth and success of AI in all types of deployment across the globe.”
