At the SIGGRAPH conference in Denver on Monday, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang previewed what he sees as the next wave of generative AI — physical AI.
"The first wave was accelerated computing, which reduced energy consumption," Huang said. He continued: "The next wave of AI will focus on corporate customer service. We want to give every (enterprise) organization the opportunity to create their own AI (technology tools). He added: "Next up is physical AI, which requires three computers to work together. One is used to create artificial intelligence, one sends instructions to the robot, and one is responsible for integrating and managing the entire system. In a video presentation about physical artificial intelligence, a voice announced: "We are entering the era of humanoid robots powered by artificial intelligence." ”
At the conference, Nvidia elaborated on its plans to accelerate the development of humanoid robotics. The company's new products include NVIDIA NIM and OSMO NIM microservices, as well as frameworks for executing multi-stage robotics workloads. In addition, NVIDIA introduced the MimicGen NIM microservice, which generates synthetic motion data based on remote operating data recorded by spatial computing devices such as Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) Vision Pro. At the same time, the Robocasa NIM microservice is able to generate robotic tasks and simulation-ready environments within a common framework called OpenUSD, a framework for 3D world development and collaboration. Nvidia said that several microservices are currently in the trial phase, and more are on the way. Earlier in this sharing, Huang also revealed an AI-powered customer service agent. Not only does it have the knowledge of a human agent, but it also has the ability to visually interact with customers and make facial changes based on the tone of the conversation. Lau·ren Goode, a senior reporter for Wired magazine, has questioned the ethics of using AI-powered customer service agents who look like real people. Huang responded: "It's still pretty robotic, and that's not a bad thing." We've made this digital human technology realistic, but we still know it's a robot...... This can help lonely old people. It's a good thing to have a being that's more like a human being than a text box. Huang envisions a futuristic world in which people from all walks of life have their own personal AI that has learned how to act and respond in a manner similar to that of a human mentor. He even envisioned creating an AI version based on everything he himself said or wrote, capable of generating almost identical reactions to his own. He wants every employee in the company to have their own AI assistant. "Nvidia's latest design wouldn't have been possible without artificial intelligence," Huang said. He continued: "Without AI, there would be no Hopper or Blackwell (referring to the two generations of high-performance GPU architectures developed by the company, primarily for data centers and AI-accelerated computing. ）。 Our philosophy is to empower every job in a company with digital AI. He added, "We are here to invent tools. We create tools to do bigger, better work – to do things we couldn't do before. Content Source: Seeking Alpha- END -
