Can NVIDIA become an AI power broker on the grid?
Listen now
Description
There are two critical ingredients fueling the AI boom: energy and chips.  And NVIDIA, one of the most important companies in AI, is looking to be a power player in both. NVIDIA was founded in the early 1990s as a chip maker for gaming. It has since evolved into a $2 trillion behemoth building the most sought-after graphics processing units for training AI. Now, the company is making moves to deploy its technology in equipment at the edge of the grid – and looking to build a framework for deploying AI inside utility operations. Could the power sector get an upgrade from a critical AI power broker? In this edition: Editor Lisa Martine Jenkins presents her own story from the pages of Latitude Media on how NVIDIA is looking to spread AI across the grid. Like what you hear?
