Nvidia reaches $1 trillion market value, becoming first chip company to do so

Nvidia, an artificial intelligence and chip company headquartered in California, hit a $1 trillion market value on Tuesday, making it the first chip company to do so, according to Reuters.The company's stock rose 4.4% on Tuesday morning and about 25% over the past week. The reason? The demand for AI. The company engineers "the most advanced chips, systems, and software" for AI. Shares are now worth around $408. Nvidia is the leader in making AI chips, but some experts say that is overvalued, according to Forbes. Last week, the company forecast their second-quarter revenue to be more than 50% above Wall Street estimates, leading analysts to increase their price targets, according to Reuters. The company said it is boosting production of the chips,...

How artificial intelligence could fundamentally change certain types of work

New York City — Since he started using artificial intelligence, copywriter Guillermo Rubio estimates his productivity has increased by as much as 20%. "It just makes certain things go a bit faster, like research or brainstorming ideas," Rubio told CBS News. "It's really useful for coming up with those things. Not necessarily writing them, but just generating the ideas when you're stuck."That innovation also means change. A report released by Goldman Sachs in March found that AI services could automate as many as 300 million full-time jobs worldwide. Many are calling it a new age in the way we work. "It's very powerful," said Daniel Keum, an assistant professor of management at Columbia Business School. "AI is able to actually outperform us in le...

“Godfather of artificial intelligence” Geoffrey Hinton leaves Google to talk about dangers of AI

The man known as the "godfather of artificial intelligence" quit his job at Google so he could freely speak about the dangers of AI, the New York Times reported Monday.  Geoffrey Hinton, who worked with Google and mentors AI's rising stars, started looking at artificial intelligence more than 40 years ago, he told "CBS Mornings" in late March. He started working for the company in 2013, according to his Google Research profile. While at Google, he designed machine learning algorithms."I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google," Hinton tweeted Monday. "Google has acted very responsibly." Many developers are working toward creating artificial general intelligence. Until recently, Hinton said he ...

“Godfather of artificial intelligence” weighs in on the past and potential of AI

Artificial intelligence is more prevalent than ever, with OpenAI, Microsoft and Google all offering easily available AI tools. The technology could change the world, but experts also say it's something to be cautious of.Some chatbots are even advanced enough to understand and create natural language, based on the online content they are trained on. Chatbots have taken advanced tests, like the bar exam, and scored well. The models can also write computer code, create art and much more. Those chat apps are the current rage, but AI also has potential for more advanced use. Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of artificial intelligence," told CBS News' Brook Silva-Braga that the technology's advancement could be comparable to "the Industrial Revolution, or electricity ... or maybe...
