Here's The Unofficial Silicon Valley Explainer On Artificial Intelligence

Last year, Frank Chen, a partner at the A-list venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), published a primer on artificial intelligence. In fact, if the mobile cloud was computing's previous major era, the next will be the era of AI, Jen-Hsun Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, one of the world's largest makers of the kinds of graphics processors that power the computers behind today's AI applications, told me last year. "It is the most important computing development in the last 20 years, and [every major technology company is] going to have to race to make sure that AI's a core competency." Chen's primer video went "unexpectedly viral," he told Fast Company yesterday, becoming one of a16z's most viewed pieces of content ever.
