Session: Bringing AI Everywhere

Abstract: Today the question is not where AI will be used in IT but rather where it won’t. "AI everywhere" means end-to-end integration of AI technologies into a diverse set of applications, promising transformative impacts on industries, economies, and individuals. But there is a lot of hype out there as well. The key question is how we make it real, accessible, and safe.

Speaker bio: Stephan is responsible for positioning of Intel products and solutions in the AI environment. He plans and implements strategies for AI technologies worldwide.

Ralph de Wargny
Director Intel Liftoff for Startups program

Session: Let’s Get Real: AI on Intel

Abstract: In this interactive session, you will learn about real-word AI implementations on Intel platforms using open-source models and Intel’s AI software stack. Ralph together with founders of AI startups will show how AI innovation is built and deployed in production on the new Intel^® Tiber™ AI Cloud.

Speaker bio: Ralph leads the global Intel Liftoff for Startups accelerator program, Intel’s free program to help early-stage AI startups with technical expertise, access to compute resources including CPUs, GPUs and Gaudi2 accelerators, plus go-to-market support.

Adrian Boguszewski
AI Software Evangelist, Intel

Session: Introducing AI PC: One Machine to Infer Them All

Abstract: In a world dominated by cloud computing, there's a growing demand for harnessing the power of PCs and edge devices for AI needs. After all, all computers connected have more power than any cloud. Hence, in this speech, we want to introduce an AI PC, a single machine that consists of a CPU, GPU, and NPU (Neural Processing Unit) and can run GenAI in seconds, not hours. Besides the hardware, we will also show the OpenVINO™ toolkit, a software solution that helps squeeze as much as possible out of that PC. Join our talk and see for yourself the AI PC is good for both generative and conventional AI models. The demos we will present are open source, so feel free to try them at home. Let's paint your dreams together!

Speaker bio: After graduating in the field of Computer Science, Adrian started his career in computer vision and deep learning. His current role is to educate people about OpenVINO™ toolkit.
