Commentary: From chip performance to inference economics, Jensen Huang rewrites AI industry trends at GTC (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Over the past three years, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has returned to the same two-axis chart at each annual GTC conference — but the story that chart tells has shifted dramatically, from a technical argument aimed at engineers to a financial argument aimed at CEO and boards of directors. That evolution is not accidental. It is a deliberate, multi-year strategy to elevate Nvidia's compute platform procurement from a line item in an IT budget to a question of corporate competitiveness....

Boston Dynamics rival Ghost Robotics brings its Pentagon-proven robotic dogs to Taiwan (Digitimes)
|
|
|
As the US Department of Defense (DoD) accelerates the adoption of AI and autonomous systems, quadruped robots have emerged as a key area of focus — and a growing opportunity for developers eyeing military applications. Among US-based manufacturers, Boston Dynamics is the household name, but it is Ghost Robotics that has staked its future on military contracts. Where Boston Dynamics has shifted toward commercialization and stepped back from weaponization, Ghost Robotics went the other direction, directly targeting the defense market and cementing itself as Boston Dynamics' primary rival in that space....

Interview: The quantum clock is ticking — here′s which industries need to move now (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Enterprises have a 2035 deadline. That is when the US government expects companies to have completed their migration to post-quantum cryptography — a safeguard against the encryption-breaking capabilities that quantum computers will eventually possess. But long before that reckoning arrives, quantum technology is already opening doors in finance, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Ching-Ray Chang, director of CYCU's Quantum Information Center and a Global Quantum 100 honoree, maps out the road ahead at AI Expo Taiwan....
