Jensen Huang: This is Blackwell. Designed in America, but made in Taiwan like most advanced semiconductors, Blackwell, he says, is the fastest chip ever. Jensen Huang: Google is gearing up for Blackwell. The whole industry is gearing up for Blackwell. Nvidia ushered in the AI revolution with its game-changing GPU – a single chip able to process a myriad of calculations all at once - not sequentially like more standard chips. The GPU is the engine of Nvidia's AI computer, enabling it to rapidly absorb a fire hose of information. Jensen Huang: It does quadrillions of calculations a second, it's just insane numbers. Bill Whitaker: Is it doing things now that surprise you? Jensen Huang: We're hoping that it does things that surprise us. That's the whole point. In some areas like drug discovery designing better materials that are lighter, stronger. We need artificial intelligence to help us explore the universe in places that we could've never done ourselves. Jensen Huang: Let me show you. Here, Bill, look at this. Jensen took us around the GTC Convention Hall to show us what AI has made possible in just the past few years. Robot: I'm making your drink, now. Some creations were dazzling Jensen Huang: This is a digital twin of the earth. Once it learns how to calculate weather, it can calculate and predict weather 3,000 times faster than a supercomputer, and 1,000 times less energy. But Nvidia's AI revolution extends far beyond this hall. Pinar Seyhan Demirdag: Blue metallic spaceship, and let's generate something. Pinar Seyhan Demirdag and Bill Whitaker 60 Minutes Pinar Seyhan Demirdag is originally from Istanbul, but co-founded Cuebric near Boston. Her AI application uses Nvidia's GPUs to instantly turn a simple text prompt into a virtual movie set for a fraction of the cost of today's backdrops. Bill Whitaker: This isn't something that's already planned and in there? Pinar Seyhan Demirdag: No, we're doing it in real time. It's live. Bill Whitaker: Is Hollywood knocking at your door? Pinar Seyhan Demirdag: We're- we're getting a lot of love. Nearby at Generate:Biomedicines, Dr. Alex Snyder, head of research and development, is using Nvidia's technology to create protein-based drugs. She was surprised at first to see they showed promise in the lab. Alex Snyder: Initially when I was told about the application of AI to drug development, I sort of rolled my eyes and said yeah, you know, show me the data. And then I looked at the data, and it was very compelling. Dr. Snyder's team asks its AI models to create new proteins to fight specific diseases like cancer and asthma. A new way to defeat the coronavirus demonstrated potential in a clinical trial. Bill Whitaker: You're now working with proteins that do not exist in nature? That you're coming up with by way of AI? Alex Snyder: Yes, we are actually generating what we call de novo. Completely new structures that have not existed before. Bill Whitaker: Do you trust it? Alex Snyder: As scientists we can't trust. We have to test. We're not putting Frankensteins into people. We're taking what's known and we're really pushing the field, we're pushing the biology to make drugs that look like regular drugs, but function even better. Brett Adcock: This is a technology that will only get better from here. Brett Adcock is CEO of Figure, a Silicon Valley startup with funding from Nvidia. Look at his answer to labor shortages: an Nvidia GPU-driven prototype called Figure 01. Brett Adcock: I think what's been really extraordinary is the pace of progress we've made in 21 months. Bill Whitaker: From zero to this in 21 months-- Figure has developed an Nvidia GPU-driven humanoid robot. 60 Minutes Brett Adcock: Ze-- zero to this, yeah. We-- we were walking this robot in under a year since I incorporated the company. Bill Whitaker: Could you do this without-- NVIDIA's technology? Brett Adcock: We think they're arguably the best in the world at this. I don't know if this would be possible without them. Figure 01: I'm here to assist with tasks as requested. We were amazed that Figure 01 is not just walking, but seemed to reason. Bill Whitaker: Hand me something healthy. Figure 01: On it.
