"The AI race is on. Breakthroughs no longer come from scientific and research labs alone. Self driving cars, intelligent medical imaging systems, and autonomous factory robots have moved quickly from ideas to reality. And it’s only the beginning. AI holds enormous promise, but it requires a massive amount of computing power. Its time to solve the challenge of AI at scale."
