What is the Intelligent Industrial Revolution?
NVIDIA Blog Article

Intelligent machines powered by AI computers that
can learn, reason and interact with people are no
longer science fiction. Today, a self-driving car
powered by AI can meander through a country road
at night and find its way. An AI-powered robot can
learn motor skills through trial and error. In my three
decades in the computer industry, none has held
more potential, or been more fun. The era of AI has
begun. Our industry drives large-scale industrial and
societal change. As computing evolves, new
companies form, new products are built, our lives
change.

As machine learning enables our computers to
teach themselves, a wealth of breakthroughs
emerge, ranging from medical diagnostics to cars
that drive themselves. A whole lot of worry emerges
as well. Who controls this technology? Will it take
over our jobs? Is it dangerous? President Obama
was eager to address these concerns. The person
he wanted to talk to most about them? Entrepreneur
and MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito. So I sat down
with them in the White House to sort through the
hope, the hype, and the fear around AI.

To bring more independence to the lives of people
with limited sight, a new wearable device called
Horus uses GPU-powered deep learning and
computer vision to help them “see” by describing
what its users are looking at. Its maker, a Swiss
startup called Eyra, announced this week at GTC
DC in Washington that the device will soon be
available through an early access program in Italy.
Alpha testers describe Horus as a life-changing
device, said Saverio Murgia, CEO and co-founder
of Eyra.

White House Economist: AI Isn’t Going to Steal Jobs
MIT TECH REVIEW

President Obama’s top economic advisor, Jason
Furman, is not worried that robots are going to take
our jobs. When it comes to artificial intelligence, his
biggest worry at the moment is that we don’t have
enough of it. Some see a continuation of what we’ve
seen before: new technologies emerge and change
the way we do business, and ultimately the economy
adapts. Others say AI is going to change the rules of
economics, and that robots will create large-scale
unemployment and inequality by replacing human
jobs.

How AI Could Stop Stock Market Cheaters

Two exchange operators have announced plans
to launch artificial intelligence tools for market
surveillance in the coming months and officials at
a Wall Street regulator tell Reuters they are not far
behind. The software could, for instance, scrub
chat-room messages to detect dubious bragging
or back-slapping around the time of a big trade. It
could also more quickly unravel complex issues,
like “layering,” where orders are rapidly sent to
exchanges and then canceled to artificially move a
stock price.
