Definitely not trying to make everyone buy even more Nvidia GPUs, no sir.
At this year's Siggraph event, Nvidia's Jen-Hsun Huang sat down with Wired for an hour-long chat about all things Nvidia, RTX, and AI. Among the varied topics touched upon, including a recognition that AI training and inference have huge energy demands, was Huang's assertion that more computers are going to be needed for AI systems in the future—specifically, three times more.
Siggraph is an annual conference normally about computer graphics and technology involved with interactivity (think AR and VR, that kind of thing) but it was only a matter of time before AI would become the main topic of discussion. To that end, Nvidia's CEO was interviewed by Wired's Lauren Goode for an hour-long streamed discussion that covered GPUs, RTX, and ray tracing, but mostly AI.
If you've been keeping up to date with Nvidia's push for generative AI to be everywhere, then there's nothing in the discussion that will really pique your interest. However, at one point, Huang mentioned how the world of AI is now moving away from its pioneering phase and moving toward the next one, which Nvidia's CEO called the "enterprise wave."
