Albert's AI and tech news

  In his commencement speech at National Taiwan University, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the opportune timing for recent graduates entering the workforce amidst the AI revolution. Drawing parallels to his own entry into the computer industry during the PC revolution, Huang highlighted three major failures he encountered while building Nvidia into the world's most valuable semiconductor company, supplying chips and computing systems for AI. Having established Nvidia as a three-person gaming graphics startup three decades ago, the company now boasts a workforce of over 26,000 employees. Huang urged graduates to pursue their ambitions with unwavering determination, just as Nvidia has done throughout its history. Currently valued at $997.28 billion, Nvidia aims to become the first trillion-dollar semiconductor stock, surpassing Meta, Tesla, and Berkshire Hathaway. With projected sales of $11 billion in the second quarter of 2023, the company is witnessing remarkable d...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing industry that is transforming various sectors with its advanced technology. However, AI is not without its problems. One issue is the tendency for large language models (LLMs) to make up information, also known as "hallucination," which can lead to incorrect facts and harmful subjects. To address this issue, Nvidia, a leading producer of graphics processors used for AI applications, has developed a new software called NeMo Guardrails. NeMo Guardrails is a layer of software that sits between the user and the LLM, heading off bad outcomes or prompts before the model spits them out. Nvidia's new software can add guardrails to prevent the software from addressing topics that it shouldn't, forcing an LLM chatbot to talk about a specific topic, head off toxic content, and prevent LLM systems from executing harmful commands on a computer. The software is open source and offered through Nvidia services, and it can be used in c...
