AI at the Edge: Intel’s Vision for Real-World Impact

When it comes to scaling AI, the conversation isn’t only about the cloud—it’s about the edge. According to Matthew Formica, Senior Director and Head of Edge Product Marketing & AI PC/Edge AI Software Developer Relations at Intel, the edge represents one of the company’s fastest-growing opportunities. With more than 200 million processors shipped into edge devices and over 100,000 deployments worldwide, Intel’s edge business is vast, yet often overlooked. The mission now: demonstrate how AI at the edge is quietly shaping everyday life, from retail checkout to robotics-powered manufacturing.
