Nvidia CEO bets big on deep learning and VR

Nvidia chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang has ridden the game industry to glory in the graphics chip business. But now those chips are being used for more than just games. And Nvidia now has a software development kit for deep-learning A.I. developers. That software kit will enable developers to create better deep-learning applications to solve problems such as enabling self-driving cars to recognize pedestrians. Nvidia is creating its own deep-learning chip and technology for self-driving cars, Huang said in a keynote speech at the GPUTech conference in San Jose, California.
