AI will level the world: Tim Bender

Artificial intelligence “is not perfect”, states Tim BenderGlobal Vice President of Consumer and Business Development at NVIDIAwho takes a seat in one of the company’s offices in Mexico City.

He comes from Guadalajara to give a conference in Talent Land on the border between gaming and AI, well NVIDIA is one of the companies that has been working with this technology for more than a decade and laying the foundation and infrastructure for what Bender assures will be a level playing field throughout the world for better social development with technology.

We are in the early stages and far from General AI. We’re talking about the generative stage of technology, where some businesses are advancing rapidly with AI applications and it’s starting to have profound effects on things like drug discovery and development. In healthcare we are seeing its upcoming utilization and in financial services, it supports analysis for portfolio management. There are many real cases where we are in almost every major industry. AI is playing an important role, but we are still in the early stages,” he explains.

WE RECOMMEND YOU: NVIDIA democratizes the use of AI

To the question about whether we are living a hype of AI and that in reality we are far from there really being a artificial intelligence as stipulated by scholars of this technologysmiles and confirms with his head.

Yes, everyone uses the buzzword. ‘Your coffee makers with AI’. Oh, wow, ‘and it determines how much hot water to put in and how many coffee beans to grind,’ you know, that’s how everyone tries to keep playing with people’s fascination. I think it’ll be great when it’s perfect and that’s what we want to do and I think that’s where we’ll get to one day. At NVIDIA we enable AI in different ways.

Our partner network is huge and they will be the ones informing the final steps for the AI ​​value proposition. We basically designed the infrastructure to use the tool. The number of companies that are likely to emerge from scratch, working on very specific applications for artificial intelligence, will be enormous and will provide a new world. There will be huge amounts of job opportunities for people but we must look at our role in improving people’s lives and enabling businesses to be more efficient and redeploy quickly.

One thing we do see is that Generative AI will level the playing field for many countries. I think people can participate in it. Cities and countries can improve faster with the help of technology, so I think the expansion capacity of the people who develop the next era of computing is a challenge, and it’s an exciting thing. Today the playing field can be leveled,” adds Bender.

YOUR PLAYBOOK

For the VP of NVIDIA There are and will be specialized actors in various areas of the IAand that is why competition is good for the industry, because it pushes everyone to move forward.

NVIDIA just stays the course, has its own plan and I wouldn’t say we ignore the competition, but we stick to our playbook and try to win the best way. As long as we maintain that culture, I don’t see Jensen’s leadership or the commitment of the rest of the team changing. Because of that, we are able to attract some of the best people in the world and I think the fact that the best people are focused on making lives better. It will allow us to continue innovating for the future.

I believe our leadership will continue because of our commitment to being the best at everything we do in our craft, bringing together the best people and allowing them to do their best work. You know, if you do amazing things, you will achieve them.”

Bender knows that there is a global race in the development of AIand NVIDIA is playing an important role in it, which is why he says they have engineers in the India y Chinain Silicon ValleyIllinois, Boston, Brazil and almost all over the world.

So we already have a global share in the role of bringing products to market. But you know, many of those competitors you mentioned (Intel, Qualcomm, TSMC, and more) are also partners of ours. We work very closely with Intel, who people see as one of the biggest competitors. “I think we are all competing for a prize and there is enough room for all of these different competitors to be successful and focus on their specific areas of strength.”

REGULATION

Bender takes his time to answer what he thinks is urgent AI regulation in this part of the world. After a few seconds and after an exhalation, he responds that NVIDIA participates in the leadership of a law with the government in the United States.

We believe that it is the responsibility of users and the companies that develop these products and services to ensure that safety barriers exist for these products and that they are used appropriately. We vet our potential customers to make sure they have high-value use cases in AI, that the products are in the hands of people who will use them positively and productively.

It is important that any partner of the company, in any competitive avenue, be responsible for the use of this technology. We must be aware of the policies and management practices and we are doing everything possible to maintain the appropriate level of oversight of the use of these products and services.”
