Council Post: Advancing Artificial Intelligence And Creating The Technology Of The Future

The global artificial intelligence (AI) market is expected to reach the trillion-dollar mark by 2030, and just as it has done with the global automotive industry, Tesla looks set to absorb a considerable amount of market share. This is all thanks to Dojo, the supercomputer set to drive the most sophisticated (and fastest) AI training machine to date. What is Project Dojo, and why does it matter? Necessity breeds innovation: Tesla's million-plus fleet of vehicles generates huge amounts of data, and the self-driving systems behind them require vast sums of real-world data. The computational demands for training these neural nets are huge, and since Tesla didn't want to be limited by the general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) available, it decided to build something better.
