PARTING THOUGHTS: REVOLUTIONIZING HEALTHCARE “Many people think of NVIDIA as a manufacturer of the types of high-end graphics processing units (GPUs) beloved of gamers, data centre operators, and cryptocurrency miners. But the company does much more, and is increasingly playing a leading role in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning. As such, it is taking a keen interest in a market that is set to be revolutionised by AI applications: healthcare.” Internet of Business August 14, 2018 WHERE IS AI HEADED?
