🚨FEATURE STORY

Nvidia is Doubling Down on AI Chips

Nvidia has just redefined the pace of innovation in AI, promising new chips every year — a significant leap from their previous two-year cycle.

Record Profits Highlight Demand for AI Chips

For years, Nvidia has been at the forefront of AI technology, consistently pushing the boundaries with their groundbreaking chips. The company’s AI Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) like the Hopper H100 and the upcoming Blackwell B200 have set industry standards, fueling advancements in various sectors from gaming to autonomous driving. In its recent summary of Q1 2025, Nvidia reported an astounding $26.044 billion in revenue and $14.881 billion in profit, underscoring the explosive demand for its AI chips.

With the rapid pace of AI development, companies are in a fierce race to harness the latest technology. Nvidia faces the challenge of meeting the sky-high demand for their GPUs while ensuring seamless transitions between their product generations.

The Race for AI Supremacy

In a bold move, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang announced that the company will now release new AI chips annually. This shift aims to keep Nvidia ahead of the curve and meet the insatiable demand for advanced AI infrastructure. However, Nvidia is not just accelerating their AI GPU roadmap; they’re revamping their entire chip lineup to match this new annual cadence. This includes new CPUs, GPUs, networking NICs, and switches, promising a “mountain of chips” to fuel the future of AI.

With this accelerated innovation cycle, Nvidia is poised to maintain its leadership in AI technology. Companies eager to capitalize on AI advancements will be keen to adopt Nvidia’s latest offerings, potentially leading to groundbreaking developments across industries. As Nvidia continues to push the envelope, the future of AI looks brighter and more dynamic than ever (see Nvidia’s announcements here and here).

OpenAI’s Landmark AI-Media Partnership!

OpenAI has entered a groundbreaking multi-year deal with News Corp, providing access to archives from major outlets like The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and The New York Post. Valued at over $250 million, this partnership aims to enhance AI training and user query responses with high-quality journalism. This move highlights OpenAI’s strategy of forming key alliances with top media firms, including the Financial Times, despite ongoing legal battles over copyright concerns with others, such as The New York Times. Additionally, News Corp will contribute journalistic expertise to ensure the highest standards of reporting, signaling a significant step in the integration of AI and traditional media (see OpenAI’s announcement here and WSJ’s announcement here).

Truecaller and Microsoft Team Up for Personalized AI Call Responses

Truecaller now lets users create an AI version of their own voice to answer calls, thanks to a partnership with Microsoft's Azure AI Speech. This feature allows Truecaller's AI Assistant to learn from a recorded clip, adding a personalized touch to call responses. Initially introduced in 2022, the AI Assistant screens calls, informs users of the call's purpose, and allows users to decide whether to answer or let the assistant respond (see Truecaller’s announcement).

FCC Pushes for AI Disclosure in Political Ads

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed a new rule requiring political ads to disclose AI-generated content, emphasizing transparency for consumers. This initiative, led by Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, aims to ensure the public is informed about the use of AI in campaign advertisements on cable, satellite TV, and radio. While this proposal marks the first step towards regulation, streamers like YouTube remain outside FCC's jurisdiction (see the FCC’s announcement).

Critics Are Not Happy with Meta’s New AI Council! Meta’s newly announced AI advisory group has raised eyebrows due to its lack of diversity, with critics pointing out that it is “composed entirely of white men”. They emphasize the absence of women and people of color, highlighting the need for diverse voices in AI development to mitigate biases (see example criticism here).

Autonomous Ships Set Sail with AI: Orca AI, a London-based startup, has secured $23 million in funding to scale its autonomous navigation technology, which has already demonstrated a 33% reduction in ‘close encounters’ and significant fuel savings for ships (see Orca AI’s announcement).

Make a Call, Get an Answer: Arc Search's new feature, Call Arc, allows users to obtain quick answers through a phone call. This AI-powered tool aims to make voice search more engaging, offering instant responses when you hold the phone to your ear and ask a question (see The Browser Company’s retro-style commercial).
