Today's podcast explores graphics chip giant NVIDIA's pivotal role in enabling the AI revolution. We learn how NVIDIA capitalized early on using its GPUs to accelerate deep learning, achieving huge performance gains. Key innovations like CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT and purpose-built GPUs allowed NVIDIA to cement its leadership in AI infrastructure. Their end-to-end ecosystem democratized access to AI, powering advances in computer vision, robotics, autonomous vehicles and more. We discuss a case study of NVIDIA GPUs enabling self-driving car development. Overall, NVIDIA stands out for its technical contributions that catalyzed AI's meteoric rise and its vision to embed intelligence broadly.
