Revolutionizing Education with AI: On-Device Solutions for Emerging Markets

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.”
