Disney and NVIDIA Team Up on Artificial Intelligence for Making Better Movies @themotleyfool #stocks $NVDA, $DIS

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) presented at a conference last month its newly developed artificial-intelligence (AI) technology for tracking the facial reactions of theatergoers as they watch a movie. The tech could help the entertainment giant make even better movies and could also have other applications across its empire. Disney tapped an NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) graphics processing unit (GPU) to play a starring role in the development of its new tech. Here's what you should know. Disney's new factorized variational autoencoders (FVAE) tech falls within the branch of AI called deep learning, which aims to mimic human thought processes. In deep learning, an artificial neural network is trained how to think or make inferences, and then it's deployed where it makes inferences from new data, which could be images, speech, and so on.
