NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to Deliver Keynote Ahead of COMPUTEX 2024

[GFreeman]

Amid an AI revolution sweeping through trillion-dollar industries worldwide, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang will deliver a keynote address ahead of COMPUTEX 2024, in Taipei, outlining what's next for the AI ecosystem. Slated for June 2 at the National Taiwan University Sports Center, the address kicks off before the COMPUTEX trade show scheduled to run from June 3-6 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. The keynote will be livestreamed at 7 p.m. Taiwan time (4 a.m. PT) on Sunday, June 2, with a replay available at NVIDIA.com.

With over 1,500 exhibitors from 26 countries and an expected crowd of 50,000 attendees, COMPUTEX is one of the world's premier technology events. It has long showcased the vibrant technology ecosystem anchored by Taiwan and has become a launching pad for the cutting-edge systems required to scale AI globally. As a leader in AI, NVIDIA continues to nurture and expand the AI ecosystem. Last year, Huang's keynote and appearances in partner press conferences exemplified NVIDIA's role in helping advance partners across the technology industry.



These partners will be out in force this year.

NVIDIA's partners, including Acer, ASUS, Asrock Rack, Colorful, GIGABYTE, Ingrasys, Inno3D, Inventec, MSI, Palit, Pegatron, PNY, QCT, Supermicro, Wistron, Wiwynn and Zotac will spotlight new products featuring NVIDIA technology.

In addition to the exhibition and demonstrations, Marc Hamilton, vice president of solutions architecture and engineering at NVIDIA, will take the stage at the TAITRA forum, a key segment of COMPUTEX dedicated to cutting-edge discussions in technology.

As part of the "Let's Talk Generative AI" forum, Hamilton will present his talk, titled "Infra Build Train Go," on June 5, from 10-10:30 a.m. at the 701 Conference Room, 7F, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 2.

NVIDIA AI Summit
Following the keynote, the NVIDIA AI Summit on June 5 at the Grand Hilai Taipei will delve into the practical applications of AI in manufacturing, healthcare, research and more.

The summit will feature over 20 sessions from industry experts and innovators as well as training sessions for developers. Kimberly Powell, vice president of healthcare and life sciences at NVIDIA, will host a special address on how generative AI is advancing the healthcare technology industry.

Register for the AI Summit.

5xxx series in this keynote?

Unlikely.

The rumor mill points to a late 2024 reveal of the consumer 5-series graphics card line, either a 5090 or 5080 with more cards to follow in 2025 in a staggered launch like they have done the past couple of generations.

Also, at a tradeshow like COMPUTEX, lots of companies make announcements so everyone is sharing the limelight. If Nvidia does their announcement at their own event, all the attention is on them.

Apple figured this out a long time ago and bailed out of Macworld Expo after the 2009 event. Nowadays they basically only launch new product at their own events like yesterday when they revealed the M4 SoC and the new iPad Pro.

Jensen will definitely hype up AI, Nvidia Omniverse and maybe the latest and greatest AI accelerators but he'll save the 5-series reveal when no one else will follow him onstage. That clears the way for maximum media coverage, probably for days.

Moreover many of these announcements since the COVID-19 lockdown have been pre-recorded videos which provides way more editorial control than a live event. Even though pandemic restrictions have been lifted this sea change appears to be permanent for many companies. Individuals can stand in front of a green screen or on some virtual soundstage and repeat their lines until the director yells "Cut!" There are no tricky live event logistics like making sure everyone's wireless lavalier mike is working or the demo jockey has the right final final PowerPoint slidedeck (that the CEO edited ten minutes before showtime) loaded.

Jensen Huang to Deliver Keynote Ahead of COMPUTEX 2024​

But of course he is...who else can they use, since he is THE AI schlepmaster nowadayz, and he will get yet another chance to show off his newest leather jacket, which is the same as his old one, only a few minutes younger, hehehe

5xxx series...pfff...whadatiz

 

[thesmokingman]

How many times is he gonna *mention AI? Gonna get my imaginary nickle jar ready.

Nvidia is pushing AI hard because it's making them wealthy in the extreme. They are now the 3rd most valuable corporation in the world by Market Cap (2.26 trillion USD) under MicroSoft and Apple. Their share price has risen by 215% in the last year alone and by 2,040% over the last 5 years.

I just wonder who is going to manufacture all of the chips needed to meet the AI demand or will the possible supply skyrocket in price?

 

[Bwaze]

The way things are going, Nvidia might even rename the gaming line into something more currently fashionable. I mean, they can be used as a "neural processors" with way more TOPS than all the CPUs with integrated graphics accelerators, now renamed into AI accelerator...

And even if it doesn't fly off the shelves, who cares, gaming is now only a small portion of sales, and even that is largely being inflated by China buying gaming GPUs for AI acceleration due to restrictions on dedicated hardware for that.

It's an "AI Summit", so I'm expecting an announcement that Mr Leather Jacket Man is being replaced by AI running on a single 4090 because electricity is still cheaper than his salary.

 

[stimpy88]

Eww, do we really need him poncing around on stage with his stupid "see this, I'm such a rebel" leather jacket, like Scrooge McDuck laughing at the people who put his company where it is today?

This is going to pop worse than the Dot.com bubble of the early 2000s.....at least in America (which will effect the globe)

I'm not a fan of this CEO cult anyway. I don't know why any of them need to be on stage. Let some lead engineer do the talking.

Yeah, they are selling this "Artificial Inteligence" as if we have really cracked it, and it's only a factor of enough computing power to get the perfect results. The reality is often dissapointing, forcing companies to still rely on manpower after heavy investments...

Not to mention, I've seen videos proving that the more AI-generated content there is on the internet, the less accurate the results are. They proved it by giving AI the command "show me an elephant", which gave pretty good results based on a database of pictures of elephants, but the more AI-made pictures got added to the database, elephants in the following pictures had some kind of deformity (two heads, missing snout, etc) at an increasing rate. I can't remember what the title of the video was, but it was pretty interesting.

Another matter is AI being just as biased as the people writing it, proved by recent failings of Google's AI image generator and ChatGPT's answers on political matters.

I don't understand humanity's thirst for fakeness, honestly.

Because this way, everyone avoids any personal responsibility for the decline of the human race and the hostile takeover by the machines, and they can just blame it on the flawed "AI" which we created....

Wake up people: IT'S OUR OWN FAULT !!!!

Another overheated videocard died? Jensen goes to court.

It's called model collapse, basically an extension of the programming adage of "garbage in, garbage out" that long predates LLMs.

LLMs are just glorified search engines, why would you expect them to be able to output anything that differs from their input data?

I don't understand humanity's thirst for fakeness, honestly.

Not sure what you're referring to.

This is capitalist society. People scam other people, to gain capital. This is called business. The AI is the best way to do it. No input, infinite cash flow, and zero responsibility. As it's impossible to get "rich" and gain wealth, wihout cutting down everywhere and scam others. The worst part of this, is that even the "poorest" accept and live by this pattern.

Exactly.

Not sure what you're referring to.

I mean, I don't understand why LLM and artificial picture generation deserve so much attention over traditional search engines and real artists creating real art.

You have a point, unfortunately.

Because search engines and artists aren't the new and cool thing that gets clicks.

It just proves that newer isn't always better.

 

[cvaldes]

Well, people being curious about the new thing is basic human nature.

Look at your System Specs. It's not like you're running Windows NT 4.0 SP3 on a Pentium II from 1997.

Maybe Batman Forever is a really good movie but people are still going to see whatever the latest Marvel or DC Comics schlock is on the silver screen.

Do you play video games? Beyond Pong or Pac-man? Remember that even Pac-man was new when it came out. Oooh, color, not black-and-white.

Who's your favorite writer? Painter? Musician?

Sure, but my system is better than a Pentium II.

... people are still going to see whatever the latest Marvel or DC Comics schlock is on the silver screen.

I'm not as I think they're all garbage, especially in recent years.

Do you play video games? Beyond Pong or Pac-man? Remember that even Pac-man was new when it came out. Oooh, color, not black-and-white.

I play old games as well as new ones. I only recently finished Homeworld: Cataclysm/Emergence. I tend to take a run with The Witcher (1) and Half-Life (1) as well from time to time for nostalgia.

Who's your favorite writer? Painter? Musician?

Writer: Chuck Palahniuk (1996-active), but I usually prefer to read non-fiction.
Painter: Monet (1865-1926) or J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851).
Musician: Curt Cobain (Nirvana, 1987-1994), Dave Grohl (Nirvana and Foo Fighters, 1986-active) or Corey Taylor (Slipknot, 1992-active). I also love the oldest Green Day albums, but I'm not a fan of their new stuff. Same with Linkin Park. Meteora and Hybrid Theory are classic albums, but what they came up with after is rubbish.

So where's the point?

 

[Assimilator]

Good man! That was actually the first game I ever owned and completed, and has a lot to do with my love of science fiction, technology, and futurology.

I remember buying Half-Life as "the greatest game ever made". Then I found the demo of Homeworld on the disc, and my jaw dropped. It was truly revolutionary in every sense. And the atmosphere! Priceless.
