Special Delivery: With U.S. Post Office on Board, NVIDIA to Enable AI Deployment, NVIDIA's Ian Buck Says The Official NVIDIA Blog

Kicking off the Washington edition of our GPU Technology Conference, Buck, NVIDIA's VP for accelerated computing, detailed a new generation of technologies that will help companies put modern AI to work. Buck also announced that the United States Postal Service -- the world's largest delivery service, with 146 billion pieces of mail processed and delivered annually -- is adopting end-to-end AI technology from NVIDIA. "The challenge is how do we take AI from innovation to actually applying AI," Buck told an audience of more than 3,500 developers, CIOs and federal employees at the three-day GTC DC. "Our challenge, NVIDIA's challenge, and my challenge is'How can I bring AI to industries and activate it.'" Over the course of his hour-long talk, Buck explained how modern AI is trained and deployed, and described how NVIDIA is adapting AI for the automotive, healthcare, robotics, and 5G industries, among others. The U.S. Postal Service offers a glimpse at what's possible. Buck said the U.S. Postal Service will roll out a deep learning solution based on NVIDIA EGX to 200 processing facilities that should be operational in 2020.
