Deep dives
Using AI to Improve Chip Design and Production
NVIDIA has developed an AI system called Chip Nemo, which uses AI to improve chip design and production processes. Chip Nemo includes a chatbot feature that can respond to chip design questions, increasing productivity by summarizing notes and training junior engineers. While Chip Nemo is currently focused on enhancing human processes rather than improving AI itself, some individuals have expressed concerns about the potential for recursive AI development.
Concerns Over Deepfake Technology
Meta, one of NVIDIA's biggest customers, has introduced a policy requiring the disclosure of AI-generated photos and videos to combat the rising threat of deepfakes. With fears growing about deepfakes becoming more sophisticated and their potential impact on events like the upcoming 2024 elections, Meta aims to address concerns by applying watermarks to AI-generated images and videos and imposing penalties for non-disclosure by users.
Microsoft's Super Bowl Ad and the Co-Pilot Brand
Microsoft's new Super Bowl ad focuses on AI, specifically co-pilot, as the company's leading consumer-facing brand. Co-pilot represents Microsoft's vision of AI as a tool to enhance individual productivity and empower users. With plans to train 2 million people in India on AI usage, Microsoft aims to encourage national governments to take a leading role in leveraging AI to drive economic growth. Co-pilot is expected to play a central role in Microsoft's future products, potentially revolutionizing Windows by unlocking new features and transforming how people interact with computers.
Microsoft has released a 60-second Super Bowl commercial focused on their AI Copilot. NLW explores how much it says about the way the company is thinking about AI (and how central it is to Microsoft's future). Also on the show: can Nvidia use AI to speed up its chip design process?
