Intel and BCG partner to offer generative AI solutions – Times of India

Intel and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have joined hands to bring generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) solutions for enterprise clients. The partnership aims to use end-to-end Intel’s AI hardware and software capabilities to deliver fully custom and proprietary solutions while ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data.
BCG is using Intel’s AI supercomputer powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors and AI-optimised Habana Gaud hardware accelerators. Apart from that, the company is also using production-ready hybrid cloud-scale software.
The Intel system powers BCG’s GenAI model that delivers insights based on over 50 years’ worth of highly confidential and proprietary data. In addition, all AI training and inferencing was completed within BCG’s security perimeter.
“Generative AI requires a truly democratized approach that enables more secure and scalable choice so enterprises can safely benefit from the technology,” said Sandra Rivera, executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center and AI Group at Intel. “Our collaboration with BCG allows us to help customers build generative AI applications that require technology optimized across the entire stack completely inside their chosen security perimeter.”
“Generative AI is an emerging and dynamic space, which means organizations must pick the right technology to power their GenAI journey,” says Suchi Srinivasan, a managing director and partner at BCG. “The technology must be enterprise grade from day one and allow for privacy, security, ease of use, and scalability. Our collaboration with Intel will enable enterprises to develop competitive advantages via custom GenAI solutions while thoughtfully navigating the people, process, and policy changes required to derive the maximum value from these transformative solutions.”
