During a keynote address opening the 2018
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Monday, Jan. 8, 2018, in Las
Vegas, Brian Krzanich, Intel Corporation chief executive officer,
spoke of the flood of data that continues to grow. "The cloud is
filled with billions of bytes of data going from our devices to a
data center and back again," he says. Intel will display how the
power of data is affecting our daily lives at the event, which runs

In a keynote packed with glimpses into future technologies,
Krzanich treated the audience to a dazzling array of data-driven
innovations. In autonomous driving, he unveiled Intel’s first
autonomous vehicle in its 100-car test fleet; disclosed that BMW*,
Nissan*, and Volkswagen* are moving their Mobileye-based mapping
design wins to actual deployments; and announced new collaborations
with SAIC Motor* and NavInfo* to extend crowdsourced map building
to China. Focused on the future of AI, Krzanich announced a
partnership with Ferrari* North America to use Intel’s AI
technologies to apply data from the racetrack to enhance the
experience for fans and drivers. In immersive media, he introduced
the newly established Intel Studios and announced Paramount
Pictures* will be the first major Hollywood studio to explore
this technology in tandem with Intel to see where this will lead
for the next generation of visual storytelling.

“Data is going to introduce social and economic changes that we
see perhaps once or twice in a century,” Krzanich said. “We not
only find data everywhere today, but it will be the creative force
behind the innovations of the future. Data is going to redefine how
we experience life – in our work, in our homes, how we travel, and
how we enjoy sports and entertainment.”
Krzanich’s keynote marked the start of CES for Intel and
provided tangible examples for how the company and its partners are
unlocking the power of data to transform businesses and our daily
lives.
Building the Autonomous Future
In autonomous driving, Krzanich announced that 2 million
vehicles from BMW, Nissan and Volkswagen will use Mobileye Road
Experience Management (REM) technology to crowdsource data to build
and rapidly update low-cost, scalable high-definition maps
throughout this year.
For the China market, Krzanich disclosed two critical
partnerships with leading automotive manufacturer SAIC Motor and
digital mapping company NavInfo. In addition, SAIC will develop
Level 3, 4 and 5 cars in China based on Mobileye technology. Levels
are assigned based on capacity for autonomy – a Level 4 vehicle can
drive itself almost exclusively without any human interaction, and
a Level 5 vehicle can drive itself without human interaction on any
road.
Krzanich also disclosed details for the company’s new automated
driving platform, which combines automotive-grade Intel Atom®
processors with Mobileye EyeQ5® chips to deliver a platform with
industry-leading scalability and versatility for L3 (Level 3) to L5
(Level 5) autonomous driving.
Intel Senior Vice President and CEO/CTO of Mobileye Professor
Amnon Shashua will share more details about the company’s
autonomous driving strategy during an Intel press conference at CES
on Tuesday, Jan. 9, at 10:00 a.m. (LVCC room #228).
Driving Insights with Intel AI and Exploring Technology of
Tomorrow
Addressing artificial intelligence, Krzanich showcased how
companies are using Intel’s technology to transform their
businesses through AI. He announced Intel is partnering with
Ferrari North America to bring the power of AI to the Ferrari
Challenge North America Series that will take place on six courses
in the U.S. this year. The Ferrari Challenge broadcast will use the
processing power of Intel Xeon® Scalable processors and the neonTM
framework for deep learning not only to transcode, identify objects
and events, and stream the experience to viewers online, but also
to mine the resulting data for further insights for drivers and
fans.
Looking ahead to the future of computing, Krzanich noted Intel’s
promising research into neuromorphic computing, a new type of
computing architecture that mimics the way brains observe, learn
and understand. Intel’s neuromorphic research prototype chip
(“Loihi”) is now fully functioning and will be shared with research
partners this year.
Krzanich also announced the next milestone in Intel’s efforts to
develop a quantum computing system. Intel shipped its first
49-qubit quantum computing test chip (“Tangle Lake”) to research
partner QuTech*. Quantum computing is the ultimate in parallel
processing, and Krzanich noted it has the potential to compute at a
far greater speed than anything ever achieved before.
Creating a New Wave of VR and Immersive Media
In addition to enabling AI and the autonomous future, Krzanich
discussed how data can transform other everyday experiences, such
as entertainment and media. He announced the debut of Intel
Studios, a newly constructed, state-of-the-art studio dedicated to
the production of large-scale, volumetric content – using Intel®
True View technology – that will create new forms of visual
storytelling with and without VR. Intel Studios features the
world’s largest volumetric video stage and a comprehensive
post-production and control facility that will enable companies to
create lifelike immersive media experiences like never before.
Paramount Pictures is the first major Hollywood studio to
explore this technology in tandem with Intel.
In sports, Krzanich announced that Intel will enable the largest
scale virtual reality event to date with the Olympic Winter Games
PyeongChang 2018 using Intel® True VR technology. Intel, together
with the official Rights Holding Broadcasters, will capture a
record 30 Olympic events, with both live and video-on-demand
content available. This marks the first-ever live virtual reality
broadcast of the Olympic Winter Games and will be available in the
U.S. via a forthcoming NBC Sports* VR app. Krzanich also showcased
how Intel is helping bring the future of 5G to the Olympics Winter
Games to enable other new realistic, immersive and responsive
sports and entertainment experiences with VR and 360-degree
video.
Finally, Intel achieved a new Guinness World Records* title for
the most UAVs airborne simultaneously from a single computer
indoors when Krzanich presented a spectacular indoor light show
performed by 100 Intel® Shooting Star™ Mini drones, or UAVs
(unmanned aerial vehicles).
“If you are impressed by what you see at CES this week, stay
tuned,” Krzanich stated in his closing remarks. “We are still
discovering new ways to apply the power of AI and data. These
discoveries will impact nearly every sector of innovation, and
Intel is at the forefront of this revolution, bringing to life the
promise of data-driven experiences through autonomous driving, AI,
5G and VR. At Intel, we not only see a world of infinite
possibilities where technology makes our lives easier, we see a
future where technology makes the world a better place.”
