Nvidia hands out blueprints for the creation of scalable ‘AI factories’ – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTMike Wheatley, Nvidia hands out blueprints for the creation of scalable 'AI factories', SiliconANGLE

Nvidia Corp. said today it wants to help organizations plan and build advanced, future-proof “artificial intelligence factories” to support a new generation of intelligent applications that will come online in the years ahead. When Nvidia talks about AI factories, what it really means is high-performance and secure data centers designed to “manufacture intelligence,” and it recognizes that the task of building them can be daunting for any enterprise. The challenge is that organizations must navigate uncharted waters, because no one has built AI factories before. With the rapid pace of development in large language model capabilities and software frameworks, best…

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTLaw enforcement tech startup Flock Safety uses AI to shut down muscle car sideshows, Mike Wheatley, SiliconANGLE

Community safety technology startup Flock Group Inc., better known as Flock Safety, says it’s pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to detect illegal sideshows – those dangerous, impromptu events, usually at night, where drivers of muscle cars take turns doing donuts in intersections for cheering crowds. The startup says it has integrated AI and machine learning with its existing Raven audio detection system to provide law enforcement agencies with real-time alerts so they can respond to sideshows as soon as they begin. Sideshows are a growing phenomenon. Although they have been going on for years, their popularity began to increase dramatically…
