Think AI started with ChatGPT? Think again. In this episode of AI in Action, host Ben Price and the team from TD SYNNEX and NVIDIA pull back the curtain on the decades-long pedigree of artificial intelligence.
From the 2012 "AlexNet" explosion to Jensen Huang’s legendary delivery of the first DGX-1 to OpenAI, we explore how hardware, specifically the GPU, transformed AI from a theoretical research pursuit into the powerhouse it is today.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The "Hoover" of AI: Why ChatGPT isn't the whole story.
- The GPU Revolution: How NVIDIA transitioned from gaming to the backbone of AI infrastructure.
- Predictive AI vs. AI Washing: Real-world use cases in industrial IoT and Cybersecurity.
- Data Sovereignty: The rise of "Private GPTs" and why your data shouldn't always live in the cloud.
