Intel recently announced that it will set up AI PC experience development centers at two of India’s top universities—the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc) and the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IITH). The move aims to provide students and researchers with advanced hardware and software resources, promote innovation in artificial intelligence applications, and help cultivate scientific and technological talents in India. The editor of Downcodes will explain this important measure in detail.
Recently, Inner announced that it will set up AI PC experience development centers at two well-known institutions of higher learning in India - the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore (IISc) and the Indian Institute of Technology in Hyderabad (IITH). This project aims to provide students and researchers with advanced hardware and software resources to promote innovation and development of artificial intelligence applications.
The development center will be equipped with Intel's latest Core Ultra processor, which combines three processing units: CPU, GPU and NPU to efficiently manage AI workloads on PCs. Through this initiative, Intel hopes to redefine the way PCs are used, improve productivity, creativity and security, while providing better AI tools and support for students and researchers.
At the Bangalore Technology Summit 2024, Intel India President Gokul Subramaniam emphasized the company's importance in the Indian market. He said that Intel's goal is to achieve sales of 100 million AI PCs in the global market by 2025, and the target of 40 million units is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
At the new development center, students and faculty will have access to the latest computing frameworks, which will provide strong support for research in areas such as education and basic sciences. In addition, Intel has also established four key research projects in cooperation with IC, covering areas such as computer architecture language models (LLMs), memory performance and network technology. These projects will lay the foundation for future AI technology development.
Govindan Rangarajan, Dean of IISc, pointed out that with the widespread application of AI in various industries, researchers need to grasp the latest industrial advances in order to conduct more impactful research. Ramaniam also mentioned that the development center aims to find AI solutions that can be applied on a large scale to bring tangible benefits to different social groups.
In addition to investments in higher education, Intel also plans to work with Indian state governments to promote skill development projects. By partnering with Karnataka's Nipuna Karnataka project, Intel hopes to provide every student in K-12 with an AI PC to improve education and technology literacy.
This series of measures will inject new momentum into India's technological innovation and educational development and help cultivate future technological talents.
Intel's move not only injects vitality into the development of India's AI field, but also demonstrates an important step in its global AI strategic layout. It is worth looking forward to its more innovations and contributions in the AI field in the future.
