SETH JUAREZ: I'm here with Intel
Field Engineer,
Ramon Crespo,
joining us via Microsoft Teams from his home office.
Ramon, thank you so much for joining us, my friend.
RAMON CRESPO: Thank you. Super
excited to be here, Seth.
SETH JUAREZ: Let's start with the basics.
Tell us about the Microsoft Intel partnership,
what's the latest for developers?
RAMON CRESPO: We brought
a ton for developers.
One of the things that I'm super excited to be
showcasing is confidential computing.
Confidential computing being when
a project's data and code are in
use and there are
some confidentiality terms that
need to be associated to that.
We have one of our partners, Bosch,
showcasing an edgeless system
developed by running autonomous driving.
As you can imagine, autonomous vehicles collect a lot of
information that can have
personal identifiable information,
say somebody's face or a license plate number.
The thing that happens is that you couldn't use
real world data to train on a blur synthetic data,
because that would lead to
less accurate models when you put in
a little blurred face or
a license plate that is blurred out.
Bosch is utilizing enclave SGX
Azure Composite computing.
During data ingestion, the raw footage is
extracted in an enclave and stored secure.
Training is done in another SGX enclave.
They saw how Bosch should take advantage of
personal knowledge of its buyer information to
train for more accurate models while
still saving all the privacy concerns.
SETH JUAREZ: I love how you can use
confidential computing to make AI even better.
Is this something that developers can use today though?
RAMON CRESPO: The latest confidential
computing
VM is now generally available.
SVM DC SB3 has more than 1500 x more APC gent over gent.
The APC is used for the trusted execution environment,
which is the enclave help to protect the data in use,
which I mentioned before,
and it allows developers to run
even bigger work as an enclave,
and we work with Microsoft to build
the ecosystem partners to help take
advantage of the power of confidential computing.
We have highest intelligence from Decentriq and
Fortanics all available on
the Azure marketplace as well as
open source solutions like Grameen.
SETH JUAREZ: This is all really great.
You know that I love AI
and I know from talking to the folks who
participated in
the OpenCV Spatial AI Contest that Intel sponsored,
that you also have some great stories around AGI,
anything we should be looking
for during Microsoft Build?
RAMON CRESPO: Let's give a shout-out to
the OpenCV Spatial Contest.
What a great time.
Shout out to Azure AI and OpenCV as well as OpenVINO.
The collar beetle buster where they were
identifying the little beetle to
reduce the use of pesticides and then
just apply it on the specific beetle, excellent.
With using Intel distribution
I hope you mean I'm talking work.
I'm happy to announce that we partnered with
scalar.ai to create sample codes on some of
the cases that are built on EFLOW and
OpenVINO manufacture defect detection and
worker safety as well
as danger zone prevention in an industrial environment.
With the one, with a defect detection,
you can detect defects on impellers
in the manufacturing line and in the danger zone,
you can actually have machines
shut down after they identify
workers there and it helps prevent accidents.
The sample code is available now on
GitHub with some tutorials on how to use it.
I hope developers have
an easier time implementing all these solutions.
SETH JUAREZ: That's really cool.
I love getting my hands
on some code.
You mentioned EFLOW and OpenVINO.
I've heard about OpenVINO from past conversations.
How are these two related?
RAMON CRESPO: It's taken a lot of
influence this time,
Edge, Linux, on Windows.
Essentially a way to deploy containers,
Linux workloads on
a Windows IoT deployment on Intel platforms.
This technology is a Microsoft technology
and it's delivered by Microsoft above
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTC 2019 and LTC 2021.
The great news is that it has been enhanced with
Intel integrated GPU acceleration
for AI workloads on LTC 2021.
This is using Intel distribution for OpenVINO,
which is a great feature that you can get to unlock
additional power by using
your integrated GPU that is typically in most laptops.
SETH JUAREZ: This is amazing.
It's been a ton of cool stuff
with hardware confidential compute, AI.
I also heard something about
an augmented reality experience.
Can you tell me about that?
RAMON CRESPO: You should be having a QR
code on the screen right now.
Our little bud, Chuck,
is up to no good,
or I should say plenty of good.
This little demonstration is to showcase
the explainable in explainable AI.
You get to see how these two AI functionalities that
are implemented in a little AI fun scenario.
SETH JUAREZ: I'm a huge fan of
doing AI responsibly,
so I myself will make sure to go
over and participate a little bit.
Ramon, you're an awesome dude.
This has been amazing.
For those watching be sure to visit Intel in the feature
partnered showcase to find
all the sessions they are participating in,
plus other great resources curated for you there.
Ramon, thank you for joining us my friend.
RAMON CRESPO: No, thank you.
It was my pleasure.
SETH JUAREZ: You're the best.
