Computing and AI has had seen a great leap in the past year - we went from Siri (sorry, we still love you but you really gotta catch up) to GPT-4o within the span of a year, and got us excited to be at the forefront of how this would unfold. That's why today we've travelled all the way to Taipei to witness the latest and greatest technology has to offer, for a glimse of what the future holds.
The first item of our itiniery, Nvidia, who has been at the forefront of how AI technology for the past decade. Coincidentally, AI seems to be the biggest topic in Computex this year.

A Generative AI Future
In today's presentation, CEO Jensen Huang started his presentation with AI, as expected.
While what he announced here is a digital bonanza for companies and developers, we won't bore you with the details, but he's announcing a future where any company will be able to create AIs like how ChatGPT, and we can do it right now.
AI Computers
Adding onto his AI speech, he's also announcing how AI is coming into the computers we are using on a daily basis - "AI computers", starting with laptops. In the coming days, it's something that we will also report as we roam through the halls of Nangang Exhibition during Computex.
Through this, not only is Nvidia planning on "liberating" AI from the likes of Google and OpenAI to other smaller companies but also enabling AI capabilities to consumers by activating it within our hardware as well, without relying on an internet connection (hopefully).
Robotics and Closing
Moving forward, Nvidia is also looking into powering the next phase of AI - robotics. They already have what they call an "Omniverse" which serves as a virtual world for AIs to train in, so we reduce accidents in the real world when we give AIs a physical body.
Nvidia's Computex 2024 keynote this year has very little to say when it comes to actual consumer products, but their products will most definitely spark a ripple that, we expect will change how we interact with technology in the years beyond.
Tarvin and I are a little disappointed, however, that we don't get to see him announce a new consumer GPU.
On this very stage years ago, Jensen told graduating NTU students to "run, don't walk". It seems that Nvidia is following his advice, running towards building an AI future.
Hopefully, not one with SkyNet in it.
