We Need Next Generation Algorithms To Harness The Power Of Today's AI Chips

At the GTC technology conference this year, NVIDIA launched their latest and most advanced GPU called Volta. At the center of this chip is Tensor Core, an Artificial Intelligence accelerator that that is poised to usher in the next phase of AI applications. However, our current AI algorithms are not fully utilizing this accelerator, and for us to achieve another major breakthrough in AI, we need to change our software. The realization of this computing resource will advance and even create AI applications that might otherwise not exist. For example, by utilizing this resource, AI algorithms could better understand and synthesize human speech.
