Intel Editorial: One Simple Truth about Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: It’s Already Here

3. As a result, the Xeon platform is at the center or many AI workloads that are real today because it is well suited for many machine and deep learning applications across industries like healthcare.

But hardware, storage and network alone are not enough. We need to leverage the unparalleled expertise from data scientists, software developers, industry experts, and ecosystem partners ––to address AI in healthcare end to end. As part of the effort to expand expertise across AI, we launched the Intel AI Academy, a place that offers learning materials, community tools and technology to boost AI developments. With more than 250K monthly participants, I invite you to join for free as well.

I feel very fortunate to work for a company like Intel that is committed to powering AI solutions that will tackle some of the biggest challenges of our time, including healthcare. I’m also proud to be leading the team that will deliver that vision.

  • INFERENCE using FP32 Batch Size Caffe GoogleNet v1 256 AlexNet 256.
  • Performance estimates were obtained prior to implementation of recent software patches and firmware updates intended to address exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown." Implementation of these updates may make these results inapplicable to your device or system. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more complete information visit http://www.intel.com/performance Source: Intel measured as of June 2017 Optimization Notice: Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
