"We view Nvidia's flagship GTC conference next week to be a key event to showcase the future of generative AI for the industry."

Nvidia in Pact With Foxconn to Build Autonomous Cars - MarketWatch

#artificialintelligence

Getting a jump on the parade of announcements to come at this week's CES tech trade show in Las Vegas, the graphics and AI chip company Nvidia gave an unofficial virtual keynote presentation Tuesday morning, unveiling updates to its gaming, robotics, and auto businesses. Nvidia (ticker: NVDA) had a rough 2022, with its stock losing about half of its value. The company was hurt by a combination of a slowing PC gaming market, a sharp plunge in purchases of graphics chips by cryptocurrency miners, and softening sales of chips for data centers, in particular in China, where tougher export restrictions hurt the business. But the company remains a Wall Street favorite, viewed as a leader in the market for chips used in both graphics and AI applications. Nvidia focused in particular on the use of artificial intelligence software across its product lines.


ChatGPT is called 'an iPhone moment in AI,' but will it make money like the iPhone?

#artificialintelligence

As tech world goes gaga for latest chatbot, remember Watson's AI fame and subsequent fallout before getting too excited about the possibilities for the latest machine-learning wunderkind ChatGPT is the latest product of artificial intelligence to take away Silicon Valley's breath (and venture-capital investments), but it is also yet another AI advancement that has not proved its ability to live up to a large valuation. ChatGPT debuted about a month ago, offering a chatbot that appears leagues ahead of its predecessors. OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, said that it is in a research preview, and that it is collecting data to train its so-called large-language model. Projects like ChatGPT can be astounding, as they seek to test the limits of technology and push them farther. However, excitement for technological promise does not always lead to big financial returns.

FICO scores leave out 'people on the margins,' Upstart's CEO says. Can AI make lending more inclusive -- without creating bias of its own?

#artificialintelligence

Dave Girouard, the chief executive of the AI lending platform Upstart Holdings Inc. UPST, -2.51% in Silicon Valley, understood the worry. "The concern that the use of AI in credit decisioning could replicate or even amplify human bias is well-founded," he said in his testimony at the hearing. But Girouard, who co-founded Upstart in 2012, also said he had created the San Mateo, Calif.-based company to broaden access to affordable credit through "modern technology and data science." And he took aim at the shortcomings he sees in traditional credit scoring. The FICO score, introduced in 1989, has become "the default way banks judge a loan applicant," Girouard said in his testimony.

Neural Network: How it works and its industry use cases

#artificialintelligence

Neural networks are a series of algorithms that mimic the operations of a human brain to recognize relationships between vast amounts of data. They are used in a variety of applications in financial services, from forecasting and marketing research to fraud detection and risk assessment. A neural network has many layers. Each layer performs a specific function, and the complex the network is, the more the layers are. That's why a neural network is also called a multi-layer perceptron.
