THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MARKET IS SET TO EXPLODE AND NVIDIA , ALONG WITH THE TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEM INCLUDING PURE STORAGE , HAS STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED ITSELF TO TAP INTO THIS HUGE MARKET GROWTH
After decades in the doldrums , AI has recently exploded in a boom that has unleashed applications used by hundreds of millions of people every day . The impact of this technology has been likened to that of electricity 100 years ago : AI won ’ t be an industry , it will be part of every industry .
The rapid rise of AI has left many businesses scrambling to understand how they can benefit from a technology they don ’ t yet understand . An MIT Sloan Management Review found that 85 % of executives surveyed believe AI will transform their company , yet only 39 % report having a strategy for AI .
One company has taken the lead in helping business decision makers evaluate , implement and monetise AI . NVIDIA cut its teeth on 3D graphics for gaming and professional design , but the graphics processing unit ( GPU ) NVIDIA invented back in the 1990s has revealed itself as a processing powerhouse , capable of tackling computing ’ s grandest challenges .
Richard Jackson , Vice President for the EMEA Partner Organisation at NVIDIA , reveals the story behind AI ’ s rapid rise from sci-fi gimmick to reality , and explores how businesses can take their first steps in this brave new world .
