Nvidia identifies the top 5 AI startups for social impact

Nvidia is on a quest to find the best "social impact" artificial intelligence startups as part of a program called Nvidia Inception, which is screening more than 600 entrants to cull the best AI startups in three big categories. We wrote about the first four candidates for the hottest emerging startup on Friday and the five most-disruptive startups on Sunday morning. And now we're focusing on the next five candidates in a category dubbed the "potential for social impact" startups. They all happen to be in the medical space. Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, hosted a Shark Tank-style event last week to narrow down the competition. Huang and a panel of judges listened to pitches from 14 AI startups across three categories.
