Nvidia's got a cunning plan to keep powering the AI revolution

Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and president of Nvidia, speaks during the company's keynote event at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Inside Nvidia's 13,000 square foot AI robotics research lab in Seattle, a small team of researchers is hard at work building the company's artificial intelligence-powered future. Next to a kitchen worktop, a robotic arm lifts a tin of Spam and puts it in a drawer. The arm has also learned how to clean the dining table and, if you ask nicely, it can help you cook a meal. This, right here, is the first tentative step in Nvidia's ambitious artificial intelligence master plan. Opened at the start of the year, the lab currently employs 28 people, with capacity for 50 research scientists, faculty advisors, and interns when operating at full-tilt.
