Nvidia is deeply involved in AI in a number of areas, as it produces semiconductors, high-end graphics processing units (GPUs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) used in supercomputers and machine learning applications. Both GPUs and APIs are used in the process of training machine-learning models, and require sophisticated semiconductors, or computer chips, to generate the computing power needed to carry out the task of processing vast quantities of data.
"Generative AI drove significant upside in demand for our products, creating opportunities and broad-based global growth across all markets" said Colette Kress, Nvidia chief financial officer and executive vice president on the company's latest earnings call.
