Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger Joins Gloo as Executive Chairman to Lead Faith-Based AI Initiatives
Gelsinger transitions to Gloo after departing Intel, aiming to develop AI-powered tools and vertical industry clouds for faith communities.
- Pat Gelsinger has officially assumed his role as executive chairman and head of technology at Gloo, a faith-based technology company.
- Gelsinger's first major initiative at Gloo involves creating one of the first vertical industry clouds tailored for faith organizations.
- Gloo, which raised $110 million in 2024 to advance its AI capabilities, uses DeepSeek's open-source AI models for its tools, including chatbots with 'safe search' features grounded in Christian values.
- Gelsinger, a lifelong Christian, has emphasized the importance of ensuring AI aligns with ethical and faith-based values to enhance human experiences.
- This move follows Gelsinger's December 2024 departure from Intel, reportedly attributed to the board's loss of confidence during the company's struggles.
