    designed in America but made in Taiwan
  • 00:02:29
    like most advanced semiconductors
  • 00:02:31
    Blackwell he says is the fastest chip
  • 00:02:34
    ever Google is gearing up for Blackwell
  • 00:02:38
    the whole industry is gearing up for
  • 00:02:40
    Blackwell Nvidia ushered in the AI
  • 00:02:42
    Revolution with its gamechanging GPU a
  • 00:02:46
    single chip able to process a myriad of
  • 00:02:49
    calculations all at once not
  • 00:02:51
    sequentially like more standard chips
  • 00:02:54
    the GPU is the engine of nvidia's AI
  • 00:02:57
    computer enabling it to w rapidly absorb
  • 00:03:00
    a fire hose of information it does
  • 00:03:03
    quadrillions of calculations a second
  • 00:03:06
    it's just insane numbers is it doing
  • 00:03:09
    things now that surprise you we're
  • 00:03:11
    hoping that it does things that surprise
  • 00:03:12
    us that's the whole point in some areas
  • 00:03:15
    like drug Discovery designing better
  • 00:03:18
    materials that are lighter stronger we
  • 00:03:20
    need artificial intelligence to help us
  • 00:03:22
    explore the universe in places that we
  • 00:03:25
    could have never done ourselves let me
  • 00:03:26
    show you here bill look at this Jensen
  • 00:03:29
    took us around the GTC convention hall
  • 00:03:32
    to show us what AI has made possible in
  • 00:03:35
    just the past few years I'm making your

    doctor Alex Snider head of research and
  • 00:04:40
    development is using nvidia's technology
  • 00:04:43
    to create protein-based drugs she was
  • 00:04:46
    surprised at first to see they showed
  • 00:04:48
    promise in the lab initially when I was
  • 00:04:51
    told about the application of AI to drug
  • 00:04:53
    development I sort of rolled my eyes and
  • 00:04:54
    said yeah you know show me the data and
  • 00:04:57
    then I looked at the data and it was
  • 00:04:59
    very compelling Dr Snider's team asks
  • 00:05:02
    its AI models to create new proteins to
  • 00:05:06
    fight specific diseases like cancer and
  • 00:05:08
    Asthma a new way to defeat the Corona
  • 00:05:11
    virus is now in clinical trials you're
  • 00:05:14
    now working with proteins that do not
  • 00:05:17
    exist in nature that you're coming up
  • 00:05:20
    with by way of AI yes we are actually
  • 00:05:24
    generating what we call denovo
  • 00:05:26
    completely new structures that have not
  • 00:05:28
    existed before do you trust it as
  • 00:05:31
    scientists we can't trust we have to
  • 00:05:33
    test we're not putting Frankenstein into
  • 00:05:35
    people we're taking what's known and
  • 00:05:38
    we're really pushing the field we're
  • 00:05:40
    pushing the biology to make drugs that
  • 00:05:43
    look like regular drugs but function
  • 00:05:44
    even better this is a technology that
  • 00:05:46
    will only get better from here Brett
  • 00:05:48
    Adcock is CEO of figure a Silicon Valley
  • 00:05:52
    startup with funding from Nvidia look at
  • 00:05:55
    his answer to labor shortages an Nvidia
  • 00:05:59
    GP driven prototype called Figure one I
  • 00:06:03
    think what's been really extraordinary
  • 00:06:04
    is the pace of progress we've made in 21
  • 00:06:06
    months from zero to this in Z to this
  • 00:06:09
    yeah we we were walking this robot in
  • 00:06:12
    under a year since I Incorporated the
  • 00:06:13
    company could you do this without
  • 00:06:15
    invidious technology we think they're
  • 00:06:18
    arguably the best in the world at this I
  • 00:06:20
    don't know if this would be possible
  • 00:06:22
    without them I'm here to assist with
  • 00:06:24
    tasks as requested we were amazed that
  • 00:06:28
    figure one is not just walking but
  • 00:06:30
    seemed to reason hand me something
  • 00:06:34
    healthy on it figure one was able to
  • 00:06:38
    understand I wanted the orange not the
  • 00:06:40
    packaged snack thank you it's not yet
  • 00:06:44
    perfected yeah you're going to get it
  • 00:06:46
    but the early results are so promising
  • 00:06:48
    German automaker BMW plans to start
  • 00:06:51
    testing the robot in its South Carolina
  • 00:06:54
    Factory this year I think there's an
  • 00:06:56
    opportunity to ship billions of robots
  • 00:06:59
    in the coming
  • 00:07:00
    decades onto the planet billions I would
  • 00:07:04
    think that a lot of workers would look
  • 00:07:06
    at that as this robot is taking my job I
  • 00:07:11
    think over time Ai and Robotics will
  • 00:07:13
    start doing more and more what humans
  • 00:07:15
    can and better but what about the worker
  • 00:07:20
    the workers work for companies and so
  • 00:07:23
    companies when they become more
  • 00:07:25
    productive earnings increase I've never
  • 00:07:28
    seen one company that had earnings
  • 00:07:30
    increase and not hire more people there
  • 00:07:33
    are some jobs that are going to become
  • 00:07:37
    obsolete well let me offer it this way I
  • 00:07:39
    believe that you still want human in the
  • 00:07:41
    loop because we have good judgment
  • 00:07:44
    because there are circumstances that the
  • 00:07:45
    machines are not just not going to
  • 00:07:47
    understand the futuristic Nvidia campus
  • 00:07:50
    sits just down the road from its modest
  • 00:07:53
    birth place this Denny's in San Jose
  • 00:07:56
    good morning where 31 years ago in video
  • 00:07:59
    was just an idea my goodness when he was
  • 00:08:03
    15 Jensen hang worked as a dishwasher at
  • 00:08:06
    Denny's as a 30-year-old electrical
  • 00:08:09
    engineer married with two children he
  • 00:08:12
    and two friends Nvidia co-founders Chris
  • 00:08:15
    malikowski and Curtis PR envisioned a
  • 00:08:19
    whole new way of processing video game
  • 00:08:22
    graphics and so we came here right here
  • 00:08:23
    to this Denny's sat right back there and
  • 00:08:26
    the three of us decided to start the
  • 00:08:28
    company frankly I had no idea how to do
  • 00:08:31
    it and nor did they none of us knew how
  • 00:08:33
    to do anything their big idea accelerate
  • 00:08:37
    the processing power of computers with a
  • 00:08:40
    new graphics chip their initial attempt
  • 00:08:43
    flopped and nearly bankrupted the
  • 00:08:45
    company in
  • 00:08:47
    1996 and the genius of the engineers and
  • 00:08:50
    Christen Curtis um we pivoted to the
  • 00:08:53
    right way of doing things and created
  • 00:08:55
    their groundbreaking GPU the chip took
  • 00:08:59
    video games from
  • 00:09:01
    this to this today completely changed
  • 00:09:06
    computer Graphics saved the company uh
  • 00:09:09
    launched us into into the stratosphere
  • 00:09:12
    just eight years after Denny's Nvidia
  • 00:09:15
    earned a spot in the S&P 500 Jensen then
  • 00:09:18
    set his sites on developing the software
  • 00:09:21
    and hardware for a revolutionary GPU
  • 00:09:24
    driven superc computer which would take
  • 00:09:26
    the company far beyond video games
  • 00:09:30
    to Wall Street it was a risky bet to
  • 00:09:33
    early developers of AI it was a
  • 00:09:36
    revelation was that luck or was that
  • 00:09:38
    Vision that was a a luck founded by
  • 00:09:41
    Vision we invented this capability and
  • 00:09:45
    then one day the researchers that were
  • 00:09:48
    uh creating deep
  • 00:09:49
    learning discovered this architecture
  • 00:09:52
    because this architecture turns out to
  • 00:09:54
    have been perfect for them perfect for
  • 00:09:56
    AI perfect for AI this is the first one
  • 00:09:58
    we've ever
  • 00:10:00
    in 2016 Jensen delivered nvidia's AI
  • 00:10:04
    supercomputer the first of its kind to
  • 00:10:06
    Elon Musk then a board member of open AI
  • 00:10:10
    which used it to create the building
  • 00:10:12
    blocks of chat GPT how are you when AI
  • 00:10:16
    took off hey guys so did Jensen hang's
  • 00:10:21
    reputation can we get a picture yeah
  • 00:10:23
    yeah he's now a Silicon Valley celebrity
  • 00:10:26
    he told us the boy who immigrated from
  • 00:10:28
    Taiwan at age n could never have
  • 00:10:31
    conceived of this it is the most
  • 00:10:34
    extraordinary thing bill that a
  • 00:10:37
    normal dishwasher bus boy could grow up
  • 00:10:40
    to be this there's no magic it's just 61
  • 00:10:44
    years of hard work every single day I
  • 00:10:48
    don't think there's anything more than
  • 00:10:49
    that we met a humble Jensen at Denny's
  • 00:10:53
    back at nvidia's headquarters in Santa
  • 00:10:55
    Clara we saw he can be intense
  • 00:10:59
    let me tell you what some of the people
  • 00:11:00
    who you work with said about you
  • 00:11:03
    demanding perfectionist not easy to work
  • 00:11:06
    for all that sound right perfectly yeah
  • 00:11:11
    it should be like that if you want to do
  • 00:11:14
    extraordinary things it shouldn't be
  • 00:11:16
    easy all right guys keep up the good
  • 00:11:18
    work Nvidia has never done better
  • 00:11:21
    investors are bullish but last year more
  • 00:11:24
    than 600 top AI scientists ethicists and
  • 00:11:28
    others signed this statement urging
  • 00:11:30
    caution warning of ai's risk to humanity
  • 00:11:34
    when I talk to you and I hear you speak
  • 00:11:37
    Part of Me Goes gee whiz and the other
  • 00:11:40
    part of me goes oh my God what are we in
  • 00:11:43
    for yeah yeah which one is it it's both
  • 00:11:47
    it's both yeah you're feeling all the
  • 00:11:49
    right feelings I feel both you feel both
  • 00:11:52
    sure sure Humanity will have the choice
  • 00:11:55
    to see themselves inferior to machines
  • 00:11:59
    or Superior to machines Pinar Sean
  • 00:12:02
    demera is an AI Optimist though she
  • 00:12:05
    named her company cubric and homage to
  • 00:12:08
    Stanley kubert the director of 2001 A
  • 00:12:11
    Space Odyssey hello hell do you read me
  • 00:12:14
    in that film Hal the AI computer goes
  • 00:12:17
    Rogue open the pod bay doors
  • 00:12:21
    H I'm sorry Dave I'm afraid I can't do
  • 00:12:25
    that I think that's what worries people
  • 00:12:28
    about AI
  • 00:12:30
    that we will lose control of it just
  • 00:12:34
    because a machine can do faster
  • 00:12:36
    calculations comparisons and analytical
  • 00:12:39
    solution creation that doesn't make you
  • 00:12:41
    smarter than you it simply computat
  • 00:12:44
    faster in my world in my belief smarts
  • 00:12:48
    have to do with your capacity to love
  • 00:12:50
    create expand
  • 00:12:53
    transcend these are qualities that no
  • 00:12:56
    machine can ever bear that are deserve
  • 00:12:59
    to Only Humans there is something going
  • 00:13:02
    on Jensen hang sees an AI future of
  • 00:13:05
    progress and prosperity not one with
  • 00:13:08
    machines as our masters we can only hope
  • 00:13:12
    he's right thank you all for coming
  • 00:13:15
