A CSET report was cited in an article published by the Associated Press. The Associated Press piece discusses the rise of Nvidia, a company which started with the idea of improving graphics for video games. Founded in 1993, Nvidia has grown into a tech giant valued at over $3.2 trillion, especially influential in artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia envisions its chips powering “AI factories” to revolutionize AI model training. Nvidia’s graphics processing unit (GPU), initially designed for gaming, is now essential for AI applications like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. This has positioned Nvidia as a leader in AI hardware, driving innovations across industries.

The CSET report, titled “AI Chips: What They Are and Why They Matter,“ explains how AI chips work, why they have proliferated, and why they matter. It also shows why leading-edge chips are more cost-effective than older generations, and why chips specialized for AI are more cost-effective than general-purpose chips.
