Nvidia CEO says graphics chips and deep learning are driving huge innovations

Entertainment nirvana, self-driving cars, and many other advances are just around the corner, thanks to the combination of Nvidia’s creation of the graphics processing unit (GPU) and the software created by artificial intelligence researchers.

That software uses GPUs to run lots of processes in parallel, making all the necessary calculations for pattern recognition. And that will advance AI in a host of applications, according to one of the tech industry’s leaders.
