5. NVIDIA’S CLARA SMARTENS UP MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS
Processing the massive sea of data is the greatest
challenge of today’s medical instruments. Unveiled at GTC
Japan, NVIDIA Clara AGX, a single GPU-based computing
architecture at the heart of the NVIDIA Clara Platform,
will dramatically boost capabilities of legacy medical
devices, enabling scaling from entry-level tools to the
most demanding 3D instruments.
“NVIDIA Clara is intended as a platform that can take the
massive amounts of data generated by medical
instruments, such as ultrasound and X-ray machines,
visualizing it, and potentially recommending actions.”

6. FUJIFILM AND NVIDIA BRING RADIOLOGY AI TO JAPAN
Fujifilm, the first company in Japan to adopt the
NVIDIA DGX-2 AI supercomputer, aims to accelerate
AI research to improve the accuracy and delivery of
healthcare and medical imaging systems.
“Combining Fujifilm’s expertise in medical imaging
systems with NVIDIA’s AI leadership will
supercharge the development and deployment of
breakthrough applications for intelligent medical
imaging systems.”

7. CISCO BOOSTS ITS DEEP LEARNING CAPABILITIES
Cisco has partnered with NVIDIA to expand the UCS
portfolio by adding a new accelerated computing
platform, making it easy for customers to consume AI
and have faster insights.
“The new UCS server’s multi-cloud support allows data
scientists to build and experiment with their models in
the cloud, but train them in the on-prem data center, to
meet data privacy and regulatory needs, without the
need to re-architect an AI-ML project.”

8. "I AM AI" DOCUSERIES EPISODE 8: TAKING AI TO NEW HEIGHTS
The latest episode of our “I am AI” docuseries features
AI startup Skydio. Its drones use AI to interpret the
world in real-time, letting it safely avoid obstacles as it
films you.
“Our vision for drones is that they should be sleek,
super intelligent, beautiful flying assistants that we're
comfortable using every day for all kinds of interesting
stuff.”

9. HOW A STANFORD PHD STUDENT IS USING DEEP LEARNING TO CREATE
“DANK MEMES”
Lawrence Pierson, PhD student in theoretical
astrophysics at Stanford University, joins the AI
Podcast to discuss how he and a classmate built a
neural network to generate memes.
“ In a qualitative survey, Peirson and his co-author
presented people with a human-generated and a deep
learning-generated meme, side by side. They asked
two questions: whether the subject thought the meme
was created by a human or computer, and how the
subject would rate the meme’s humor.
The data shows the deep learning memes ‘were fairly
indistinguishable from the real memes,’ Peirson says.”
