Nvidia, a tech giant, aims to accelerate the growth of artificial intelligence by developing more powerful computer chips and desktop computers.
https://www.smh.com.au/technology/nvidia-seeks-to-ramp-up-ai-growth-with-souped-up-chips-desktop-computer-20250107-p5l2o3.htmlNvidia is introducing new technologies, including "RTX Neural Shaders" that utilize AI to render game characters with greater detail, addressing the challenge of detecting small errors on digital humans. The company is also launching a suite of tools for creating "autonomous characters" that can perceive, plan and act like human players, enabling them to assist in planning strategies or adapting tactics in games. This move follows other tech companies such as AMD, Google and Samsung, who are showcasing AI-powered tools at CES 2025 aimed at enhancing entertainment experiences for both creators and consumers.

The company's CEO, Jensen Huang, announced the launch of the chip, which is called the "Grace Hopper", at an event in San Jose, California. The Grace Hopper is a central processing unit (CPU) that is specifically designed for AI workloads and is intended to be used in robots and other machines that require high-performance computing capabilities.

AI companies captured a record 46.4% of the total funding, up from less than 10% a decade earlier. Notable examples include OpenAI's $6.6 billion and xAI's $12 billion funding rounds, which have sparked investor optimism about the sector's potential. However, analysts are uncertain whether this enthusiasm will be sustained, particularly for foundation model firms that require substantial capital investments.

The study, led by Professor Alexander Katalinic, found that AI-tagged normal examinations reduced radiologists' interpretation time by 43%. In a simulated scenario where radiologists did not interpret AI-labeled normal mammograms, the cancer detection rate still improved by 16.7% while reducing recalls by 15%. This success is significant for Germany, which has been criticized for lagging behind other countries in AI innovation, particularly in women's health. The study was conducted by Vara, a company that specializes in AI-assisted mammography screening, and its results are expected to pave the way for wider adoption of AI-assisted breast cancer screening globally.
