Intel’s Latest Initiatives Expand on AI PC Acceleration Program
In a move to bolster its AI PC Acceleration Program, Intel has announced the introduction of two new initiatives aimed at fostering collaboration between independent hardware and software vendors and the company’s resources. Launched in October 2023, the AI PC Acceleration Program serves as a platform to facilitate innovation and drive advancements in AI technology within the PC ecosystem. The newly unveiled initiatives, namely the AI PC Developer Program for software developers and a dedicated initiative for independent hardware vendors, represent Intel’s commitment to empowering developers and vendors with the tools and resources needed to thrive in the era of AI-driven computing.
The AI PC Developer Program, a cornerstone of Intel’s latest initiative, is designed to provide software developers with enhanced access to Intel’s ecosystem, enabling them to deepen their understanding of AI technologies and refine their proficiency in developing tools tailored for AI PCs. By engaging with a diverse range of developers, including small- and medium-sized players and aspiring developers, Intel aims to foster a collaborative environment conducive to innovation and knowledge-sharing.
Carla Rodriguez, Vice President and General Manager of Client Software Ecosystem Enabling at Intel, emphasized the company’s dedication to driving a frictionless experience for developers through the AI PC Developer Program. In a statement, Rodriguez highlighted the program’s objective of expanding outreach beyond large ISVs to encompass a broader spectrum of developers, ensuring that developers of all sizes have access to the resources and support needed to succeed in the AI landscape.
The expansion of Intel’s AI PC Acceleration Program underscores the company’s commitment to facilitating the seamless adoption of new AI technologies on a global scale. Through access to a comprehensive suite of tools, workflows, AI deployment frameworks, and developer kits featuring the Intel Core Ultra processor, both software developers and vendors will be equipped to harness the full potential of AI-driven computing. By providing developers with the necessary resources and support, Intel aims to accelerate the development and deployment of AI-enabled solutions, driving innovation and unlocking new possibilities within the PC ecosystem.
Intel launched its AI PC Acceleration Program in October 2023 to connect independent hardware and software vendors with the company’s resources. On Tuesday, the company announced two more initiatives under the umbrella programme. The first initiative is called the AI PC Developer Program which is aimed at software developers, and a separate initiative for independent hardware vendors that will be added to the programme. The PC chip maker believes the programme will enable the developers to gain a better understanding of Intel’s ecosystem and a better proficiency in developing tools for the era of AI PCs.
In a newsroom post, Intel’s Vice President and General Manager of Client Software Ecosystem Enabling, Carla Rodriguez said, “We have made great strides with our AI PC Acceleration Program by working with the ecosystem. Today, with the addition of the AI PC Developer Program, we are expanding our reach to go beyond large ISVs and engage with small- and medium-sized players and aspiring developers. Our goal is to drive a frictionless experience by offering a broad set of tools including the new AI-ready Developer Kit.”
This expansion of the company’s AI PC Acceleration Program will now focus on helping software developers easily adopt new AI technologies at scale. Intel will be providing access to tools, workflows, AI-deployment frameworks and developer kits featuring Intel Core Ultra processor to both software developers and vendors.
