Nvidia CEO: We bet the farm on AI and no one knew it | TechCrunch

Aug 08, 2023 - news.bensbites.co
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, in a keynote at SIGGRAPH, discussed the company's pivotal decision in 2018 to focus on AI-powered image processing, specifically ray tracing and intelligent upscaling (RTX and DLSS). This move, Huang said, not only redefined Nvidia but also the evolving industry. The architecture created for RTX and DLSS was found to be ideal for the growing machine learning development community, with systems like the H100 designed to perform necessary operations at scale.

Huang also highlighted the future of AI, stating that new models will need to run in real time by millions or billions of users. He predicted that everything from visual effects to manufacturing and heavy industry will adopt a natural language interface. He also unveiled the GH200, a new datacenter-dedicated AI development hardware, which he claimed can do the same job as last-generation computing resources for less than a tenth of the cost and power requirements.

Key takeaways:

  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reflected on the company's decision in 2018 to embrace AI-powered image processing, which he says has redefined the company's future and the industry.
  • Huang believes that the future will be powered by AI and Nvidia hardware, with AI development being limited only by the availability of computing resources.
  • Nvidia's new datacenter-dedicated AI development hardware, GH200, can perform the same job as last-generation computing resources for less than a tenth of the cost and power requirements.
  • Huang envisions a future where entire factories will be software defined and robotic, with AI being the basic unit of the digital industry.
