AI is evolving faster than anyone predicted, doubling in capability roughly every six months. For Stacey Shulman, Vice President and GM of Health, Education, and Consumer Industries at Intel, the real question isn’t if AI works—it’s how to integrate it responsibly, equitably, and in ways that improve everyday lives.
Smarter Healthcare, Not Replacement
Agentic AI—networks of intelligent agents—are reshaping healthcare by acting as supportive “assistants” to clinicians. From handling documentation to surfacing insights, these systems free up time for patient care. In life sciences, they’re also expediting drug discovery and clinical trials, turning decades-long processes into years.
Education That Adapts
Intel is enabling AI in more than a million classrooms worldwide, helping teachers tailor lessons, pinpoint challenges, and personalize learning paths. For Shulman, the priority is empowerment: AI should amplify educators, not replace them. Adaptive platforms can flex to different learning styles, making education more inclusive and scalable.
Retail Reimagined
Retail is using AI to elevate customer experience—both online and in-store. From outfit recommendations to real-time support for sales associates, AI is creating more personalized, fluid interactions. The challenge, Shulman notes, is balance: automation should enhance—not diminish—authentic human connection.
Intel’s Advantage
With decades of enterprise experience, Intel delivers AI that’s integrated, secure, and scalable. Its full-stack approach combines:
- On-device, privacy-first infrastructure
- Balanced performance across CPU, GPU, and NPU
- Deep partnerships across industries
This ecosystem ensures organizations can adopt AI without disrupting operations.
What’s Next
The next era of AI will be defined not by experimentation, but by responsible deployment. For Shulman, success means aligning technology with the workflows and values that matter most—across healthcare, education, and consumer industries.
