Articul8 AI, a standalone enterprise specializing in delivering a comprehensive, vertically tailored, and secure generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) software platform, was established through a collaboration between Intel Corporation and the global investment firm DigitalBridge Group.
The GenAI platform, as per Intel, ensures that consumer data, education, and assumptions remain secure within the confines of enterprise security protocols. Clients have the flexibility to opt for cloud, on-premise, or hybrid deployment options through this platform.
Utilizing intellectual property (IP) and technology developed at Intel, Articul8 was brought to fruition, with both entities committed to strategic alignment on market initiatives and fostering GenAI adoption in the corporate sector.
Arun Subramaniyan, a former vice president and general director of Intel’s Data Center and AI Group, has been appointed as the CEO of Articul8, as announced by Intel.
“Articul8 is poised to deliver significant business outcomes for Intel and our wider network of customers and partners through its robust AI and HPC capabilities and enterprise-grade GenAI solutions.” Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing collaboration with Articul8 as Intel expands its horizons.
DigitalBridge Ventures, the corporate venture arm of the company, led the investment in Articul8. Moreover, Intel has secured an equity share in the venture, alongside a consortium of prominent investors, including Fin Capital, Mindset Ventures, Communitas Capital, GiantLeap Capital, GS Futures, and Zain Group.
The integration of GenAI functionalities into their operations is now a pressing challenge for multinational corporations. Articul8’s scalable and easy-to-implement GenAI software platform empowers businesses to derive value from their proprietary data. Marc Ganzi, CEO of DigitalBridge, emphasized the pivotal role of GenAI in driving modern infrastructure and expressed satisfaction in collaborating with Intel to support Articul8’s growth.
To aid large-scale enterprises in the adoption and operationalization of AI, Articul8 offers a comprehensive GenAI application platform. This platform supports a range of hybrid infrastructure options, leveraging Intel hardware architectures such as robust Intel Xeon processors and Intel Gaudi accelerators. The platform has been successfully deployed for corporate clients in sectors necessitating stringent security measures and specialized domain expertise, including financial services, aerospace, semiconductors, and communications, following its initial deployment at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), according to Intel.
The core focus of “GenAI” is to cater to the business strategies and requirements of our clients. Our collaboration commenced nearly two years ago during Intel’s project incubation phase. Rich Lesser, Global CEO of BCG, highlighted the successful deployment of Articul8 solutions for numerous clients seeking production-ready platforms with rapid time-to-market capabilities.
