Nvidia CEO wants enterprise to think 'AI factory,' not data center | TechCrunch

Mar 19, 2024 - techcrunch.com
During Nvidia’s GTC 2024 event, CEO Jenson Huang introduced the concept of "AI factories", comparing the transformation of raw materials into valuable products in the Industrial Revolution to the process of turning data and electricity into valuable data tokens in data centers. He emphasized that these data tokens, though invisible, are distributed globally and hold significant value.

Huang's comparison aims to persuade companies to view data centers and AI tools as profit-generating factories rather than cost centers. He believes that this shift in perspective is particularly relevant in the era of generative AI, which he sees as a new form of factory.

Key takeaways:

  • Nvidia's CEO Jenson Huang referred to data centers as 'AI factories' during his keynote at Nvidia’s GTC 2024 event.
  • He compared the new Industrial Revolution happening in server rooms to the previous one where water was turned into electricity, stating that now data and electricity are turned into valuable data tokens.
  • Huang emphasized that these 'AI factories' are not just cost centers but can generate revenue, a perspective he hopes will encourage companies to invest more in data centers and AI tools.
  • He highlighted the emergence of generative AI as a new form of factory in the digital world.
