Technology giant and AI leader Nvidia made a number of announcements during its opening keynote at CES on Monday night, including one about new media systems, touting advances in humanoid robots.
Founder and CEO Jensen Huang fronted the event wearing a shinier version of his trademark black leather jacket. (“After all, I’m in Las Vegas,” he explained with a laugh. “I think I need to really understand this situation.” After another hour or so, I feel really good. ”)
Mr. Huang, who founded Nvidia in 1993 at the age of 30, led the company to a market capitalization of $3.5 trillion and rose to the top of tech executives during the AI boom. Many areas within Hollywood, particularly visual effects and animation, have become heavily dependent on Nvidia’s products and services, as well as its tech industry foes such as Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Tesla.
While Huang and his colleagues detailed many of the advances, Richard Kerris, Nvidia’s vice president and general manager of media and entertainment, also announced a new project called Media 2 in a blog post published during the keynote. We have given an overview of the system. He wrote that this is “the latest AI-powered effort to transform content creation and streaming.”
and a live media experience. ” The system uses AI to “drive the creation of smarter, more customized, and more impactful content that can adapt to individual audience preferences,” he continued.
Kelis noted that many partners are using Nvidia technology, from image-based companies like Shutterstock and Getty Images to communications giant Verizon. For example, Comcast’s Sky is testing Nvidia’s services and models. “This integration has the potential to improve interactivity and accessibility for customers around the world, including the ability to use voice commands to request summaries during live sports and other contextual information,” he said. “There is a possibility that they will be able to access it.”
Nvidia announced new chips and desktop computers, as well as its new Cosmos platform. This setup helps develop physical AI systems such as robots and self-driving cars using models that simulate real-world situations.
Like others in the technology industry, Huang emphasized the potential of self-driving cars. “The revolution has arrived,” he said. “I predict that this will probably be the first multi-trillion dollar robotics industry.”
