Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, gave a keynote speech at the 2016 Baidu World Conference. He discussed how NVIDIA GPUs have become the dominant platform for artificial intelligence research and deep learning. GPUs enabled breakthroughs like superhuman image recognition in 2012 and voice recognition in 2015. NVIDIA's Pascal GPU architecture provides a 65x speedup for deep learning compared to 4 years ago. Huang outlined NVIDIA's work in self-driving cars through its Drive PX platform and partnership with Baidu to apply AI to transportation and other domains.
