5. REINVENTING COMPUTER GRAPHICS THROUGH REAL-TIME
RAY TRACING
At SIGGRAPH, CEO Jensen Huang announced Turing,
NVIDIA’s eighth-generation GPU architecture, which
features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing and new
Tensor Cores for AI inferencing. Together for the first
time, Huang explained, they make real-time ray tracing
possible.
“Turing features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing
and new Tensor Cores for artificial intelligence inferencing
which, together for the first time, make real-time ray
tracing possible.”

6. HOW AI IS DISRUPTING THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
With mounds of data, the oil and gas industry has
begun embracing digital technologies to analyze
data more efficiently. As of January 2018, Baker
Hughes, a GE Company, has partnered with NVIDIA
to integrate AI into the oil industry.
“The oil company uses the technology company's AI
to combine with its industry knowledge. The result
is an algorithm that can analyze the mounds of data
collected. These algorithms will predict when
problems will occur and detect equipment issues.”

7. LEADING THE WAY IN AUTONOMOUS TRANSPORTATION
Limited by the environment by which it needs to
understand its surroundings, trains may be the first form
of fully autonomous transportation, thanks to Australian
company 4TEL Pty Ltd.
“4TEL is focused on improved safety, reduced
infrastructure and continuous machine learning for train
systems. Many see the role played by train operators
improved by automated acceleration and braking
systems.”

8. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DEEP
LEARNING
In a short video, ZDNet breaks down how deep
learning relates to a wider field of machine
learning and how to get started.
“Within the field of AI research, machine
learning has enjoyed remarkable success in
recent years -- allowing computers to surpass or
come close to matching human performance in
areas ranging from facial recognition to speech
and language recognition.”

9. HOW VOICE COMPUTING IS BECOMING MORE REALISTIC
Peter Cahill, CEO of AI startup Voysis, joins the AI Podcast to
discuss how his startup is using AI to make voice computing
more realistic and a part of more online retail experiences.
“The core mission of Voysis is that we are a complete voice
AI platform... we allow any retailor or brand to upload their
product data to an API, and in a matter of hours, Voice AI
understands what users are likely going to say to them.”
