Intel on AI

Turning AI from promising experiments into billion-dollar business value requires more than powerful hardware—it takes strategy, scalability, and responsibility. In this episode, David Ellison, Chief Data Scientist & Director of AI Engineering at Lenovo, shares how the company's AI Discover Center of Excellence has generated more than $1 billion in revenue by moving beyond proofs of concept to enterprise-scale deployments. David breaks down why CPU-based inferencing is becoming a cost-efficient alternative to GPUs, how innovations like Intel's AMX, AVX, and OpenVINO toolkit are reshaping performance, and what enterprises can learn from real-world applications—from NASCAR's Smart Pit Box to logistics at USPS. The conversation also explores responsible AI practices, offering guidance for C-suite leaders balancing performance, cost, and trust. Looking ahread, David shares where CPU-based AI inferencing is poised to make the biggest impact in the next few years.

AI is transforming communication—but for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, the stakes are even higher. In this episode, Mariam Rahmani, Senior Director of AI at Sorenson, shares how her team approaches AI innovation with accessibility at its core. From developing computer vision models for sign language translation to navigating the real-world constraints of ethical deployment, she explains what it takes to build AI that serves people—not just use cases. Mariam discusses how Sorenson prioritizes projects that drive tangible impact, the challenges of measuring success in accessibility, and the unique hurdles AI teams face when designing for underserved communities. She also reflects on her journey through academia, corporate innovation at Intel, and now mission-driven work at Sorenson—and how those experiences have shaped her thinking around scalable, responsible AI. Whether you're building AI products, leading technical teams, or exploring how technology can drive inclusion, this conversation sheds light on the practical and human-centered realities of AI for accessibility.

AI adoption is shifting from proof-of-concept to enterprise execution, and Google Cloud is helping organizations turn ambition into measurable outcomes through clarity, customization, and speed to value. In this episode, Riyaz Habibbhai, Director of Product Marketing at Google Cloud, outlines why simplicity, security, and strategic alignment are essential for scalable AI, and how platforms like AgentSpace enable companies to deploy and manage intelligent agents across workflows in one place. He explains how Google's vertically integrated stack—from TPUs and GPUs to Vertex AI—gives customers the flexibility to combine proprietary and open-source tools, fitting AI into unique workflows rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. You'll hear how industries are seeing clear ROI in customer service and software development and why the real opportunity lies in customizing AI for specific business contexts, whether in logistics, manufacturing, or financial operations. Riyaz also shares why product marketers and business leaders need to actively use AI to communicate its value effectively, turning great products into clear, compelling stories that drive adoption. Tune in for a thoughtful, pragmatic look at how Google Cloud is helping companies move from AI experimentation to orchestration at scale, making AI a core business capability that delivers real impact. #AIProductMarketing #GoogleCloud #AgentOrchestration #EnterpriseAI #AIInnovation #AgentSpace #AIatScale #CustomAI #AIIntegration #TechLeadership #AIinBusiness #AIAdoption #GenerativeAI #CustomerEngagement #AIWorkflow #AIandCreativity
