Intel is committed to advancing uses of AI that most positively impact our world.
The hardware, software, and algorithms that we create and utilize on a daily basis that recommend the next book to read, automatically tag your images, or identify the best route to go to work can also help identify the children who are most at risk of exploitation, improve medical diagnosis, and protect our natural resources. It is a way to equalize resources, capabilities, and services to those that have been traditionally disadvantaged. Intel is passionate about supporting these types of causes now and in the future.
EARTH | SOCIAL IMPACT | HEALTHThe Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ 2 vision processing unit (VPU) powers the TrailGuard AI* vision processing and on-camera inference—all while operating at very low power to enable an estimated year-long battery life.
Intel won Kaggle’s Statoil/C-CORE Iceberg Classifier Challenge by creating an algorithm to classify ships vs. icebergs. The ability to classify icebergs helps create safer sea travel especially in remote areas and harsh weather conditions.
A team of Intel AI data scientists use Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithm for an autonomous greenhouse maximizes yield and minimizes resources.
Researchers use Intel deep learning technologies and resources along with mentorship from Intel engineers to explore problems that may affect Earth.
The Intel Falcon 8+ drone is being used to study polar bears in the arctic. The use of drones is safer for researchers and provides less threatening research methods for studying polar bears in their natural environment.
Intel and Parley for the Oceans collaborate on a noninvasive way to study whales in the oceans by collecting snot from whale blow holes using Intel SnotBots to be analyzed for stress and pregnancy hormones, viruses, bacteria, and toxins.
Intel Falcon 8+ drones shoot high resolution aerial photographs which can be processed into highly accurate 3D models of the Great Wall of China. The AI algorithm identifies damage in the wall and provides guidance for repairs.
Intel supported Bauhaus University to protect the 15th century Halberstadt Cathedral by using Falcon 8+ drones to capture structural data for repairs. The drones help collect the data without the risk of damage from physical contact.
