Tech companies and investors have recently been piling money into artificial intelligence—and plenty has been trickling down to chip maker Nvidia. The company’s revenues have climbed as it has started making hardware customized for machine-learning algorithms and use cases such as autonomous cars.
Company’s CEO Jensen Huang spoke to MIT Technology Review and said “Very few lines of code in the enterprises and industries all over the world use AI today. It’s quite pervasive in Internet service companies, particularly two or three of them. But there’s a whole bunch of others in tech and other industries that are trying to catch up. Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software”.
Using machine learning in cars will also create new challenges for regulators. Nvidia has demonstrated software that learns to drive just by watching what a human driver does—but it’s difficult to explain exactly how it works or would behave in different scenarios
