NVIDIA CEO: AI Evolution Exceeds Moore's Law
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA , confirmed that the development of artificial intelligence is witnessing an unprecedented and rapid growth.
Speaking with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff at the DreamForce event, Huang noted that AI progress is far outpacing Moore's Law .
“We are now at a point where technology is moving much faster than Moore's Law,” Huang said.
It is worth noting that Moore's Law is a rule established by Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel, in 1965, which states that the number of transistors in microprocessors doubles approximately every 18 to 24 months, leading to a two-fold increase in computing power.
The law is used to describe the speed at which technology, especially in the field of electronic chips, is developing, and the law predicts a continuous increase in the performance of computers while reducing their size and production costs.
Huang believes AI is advancing much faster. “You could say it’s outpacing Moore’s Law by a factor of two,” he said.
“If you look at Moore’s Law over a decade, we’re talking about a 100-fold increase,” Huang explained. “We’re now about 100,000-fold ahead.”
Huang points to several factors driving this massive acceleration: “At each layer, computers have evolved from CPUs to GPUs, from engineered software to machine learning-based software. This interplay between technological evolution and AI is creating new systems that are more advanced than ever before.”
Huang describes this interaction as a driver of progress, saying, “This interaction is now at its peak.” He expects the world to witness amazing progress in developing AI-based software in the next year or two.
Huang asserts that this current stage of AI development will have far-reaching implications, promising that AI will deliver “a level of automation the world has never seen before.”
