In this episode of To the Edge and Beyond, host Michelle Dawn Mooney explores how Intel’s AI solutions are revolutionizing education. Joined by Chris O’Malley, General Manager of Intel’s Health, Education & Consumer Industries; Bharath Srivats, Marketing Manager at Intel; and Paulo Costa, VP of Sales at Critical Links, the conversation delves into the transformative power of AI in education, particularly in emerging markets.

The discussion highlights Intel’s on-device, offline AI models, which enable personalized learning paths for students while reducing dependency on cloud infrastructure. “AI tutors have the potential to shift learning outcomes by providing customized feedback and pacing,” says Chris O’Malley. This innovation addresses the long-standing challenge of scaling one-on-one tutoring to large classrooms.

Paulo Costa emphasizes the importance of bridging the digital divide: “Emerging markets need cost-effective, offline AI solutions to empower students and teachers without reliable internet access.” Critical Links’ C3 Micro Cloud, powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, is designed for exactly this purpose. This robust system delivers AI capabilities tailored for rural and underserved schools, ensuring data privacy, local adaptability, and resilience to challenging environments.

Intel’s Core Ultra processors bring groundbreaking performance and affordability, enabling smaller institutions to deploy AI at scale. “We’ve reduced latency by five times and increased throughput by over two times, making AI accessible even in resource-constrained environments,” Costa adds.

The episode also underscores the collaboration between Intel and partners like Critical Links to ensure technology addresses educational challenges. “It’s not just about innovation,” says O’Malley. “It’s about creating solutions that genuinely transform learning experiences for students worldwide.”

CDK puts its built-in CDP inside dealership workflows, not behind another login

CDK puts its built-in CDP inside dealership workflows, not behind another login

CDK launched a built-in customer data platform for its Dealership Xperience platform ahead of NADA Show 2026. It unifies data across systems into a single profile with AI summaries inside existing workflows. No extra login.

  • 01CDK is betting a CDP that ships inside the dealer platform shifts the “customer 360” problem from data ingestion to adoption where advisors and sales reps already work.
  • 02CDK’s promise of benchmarks and metrics (lease loyalty, months between repair orders) makes CDP value easier to verify, if dealers align definitions and data-quality rules first.
  • 03For groups planning Open API integrations, if the CDP becomes where identity is resolved, integration specs shift from “move data” to policy work: match rules, householding, and record permissions.

Dell’s $95B AI backlog is turning AI rollouts into a delivery-date problem

Dell has a reported $95B AI backlog. AI infrastructure lead times are still a gating factor in 2026. Bain & Co. analysis, reported by CIO Dive, expects higher IT costs, while pricing shifts and on-prem moves are changing procurement playbooks.

  • 01A vendor’s backlog number is becoming a planning input, it indicates when AI timelines are gated by physical delivery, not approvals.
  • 02Outcome-based AI pricing sounds like savings, but it shifts risk into defining outcomes, metering how they are measured, and vendor governance.
  • 03The return to private cloud and on-prem for some AI workloads suggests facilities power, rack space, and supply contracts belong in AI roadmaps early.

AI is now a DAM governance requirement, not a demo feature

CMSWire’s 2026 DAM coverage shows AI fit and governance now drive enterprise DAM selection. Gartner’s DAM reviews point to cross-functional adoption and third-party access needs. Plan for metadata strategy, rights workflows, and integration requirements during refreshes happening now.

  • 01If the DAM roadmap does not spell out how governance, metadata, and rights management will support AI-driven use cases, teams can get stuck in approval and control issues instead of moving forward with storage and delivery.
  • 02Bynder shows up as a “Customer Favorite” in Forrester’s Q1 2026 DAM Wave cited by CMSWire and also appears repeatedly in Gartner peer-rating views, a rare cross-benchmark signal procurement teams can use.
  • 03For organizations with legacy archives, CMSWire’s 20%+ 1990s hard-drive failure-rate reference reframes digitization as a time-bound risk, not a “nice-to-have” project.
