Jensen Huang at CES

The scene was set by Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, the $3.5tn chipmaker whose stock has risen more than 150 per centover the past year on the back of huge sales of its market-leading graphics processing units needed to power advanced AI models.

During a keynote address in which he unveiled an array of new products including a new mini AI supercomputer and a suite of foundational AI models on its new Cosmos platform, Huang told an audience of more than 6,000 delegates that AI was advancing at an “incredible pace”.

He said: “It started with perception AI — understanding images, words and sounds. Then generative AI — creating text, images and sound.” Next comes an era of “physical AI, AI that can proceed, reason, plan and act”, Huang added.

Those advances are expected to be featured in an array of products over the coming year, following the smartphone sector’s major push into AI, with Apple, Samsung and Google all rolling out major new redesigns in 2024.
