To expand the technical strength of artificial intelligence, Intel successively acquired Altera, Saffron, Nervana, Movidius, Mobileye and other industries, and put the funds into the mighty AI, Data Robot, Lumiata, Cognitivescale, Aeye Inc., Element AI and other new ventures. The development of AI has just started, and Intel is making a multi-party effort. Like Saffron the latest anti-money laundering (anti-money laundering; AML) consultants are using AI techniques that are different from deep learning. According to the EE Times report, Saffron's AML advisers used Xeon techniques to detect suspicious financial crimes. Elizabeth Shriver-procell, director of Saffron Financial industry solutions, said Saffron used to offer a wide range of analytical platforms, including supply chain vendors, banks and insurers. After being incorporated into Intel, Saffron is committed to launching specialized products for specific applications. Saffron's AML advisers use an AI technique called associative memory (associative Memory), particularly adept at finding patterns of anomalies from a wide variety of sources. It usually takes a lot of time to do a comparison analysis between seemingly unrelated databases, but associative memory can do it in a very short time, and it does not require a lot of training for the deep learning module. Fraud detection software used by financial institutions is known as the ' black box '. Users are unable to understand how such software works, and when the software discovers suspected fraudulent activities, it cannot provide a clear explanation to the law enforcement agencies. Deep learning applications will likely face the same problem after that. Anti-saffron AML advisers operate in a transparent manner, so they are called ' white box ' ai by Shriver-procell. Shriver-procell believes that with the continuous integration of various applications, different AI technologies will have complementary effects. The Bank of New Zealand Zealand has joined the early adoption plan of Intel Saffron. Although combating financial crime is an important mission, the main reason for Intel's takeover of Saffron should be to focus on the AI technology that Saffron has mastered. Tirias study analysts said that at present, the artificial intelligence market has a wide range of learning types, neural networks, hardware solutions and software architecture, and at any time there may be new algorithms to appear, so the general-purpose processing chip is still temporarily the market's main force. GPU, FPGA and Nvidia's tensor Core, Google's TPU2, may have to wait until the market consensus is formed. Analysts believe that aggregate intelligence (Collective Intelligence) will be a trend in the future, and saffron's financial sector will be driven by a globalised economy as one of the main forces driving collective intelligence development.
