In this continuation of Episode 2, Ben and the team dive into the practical, high-impact ways AI is transforming industries today. The discussion moves beyond the hype to explore tangible solutions, starting with the evolution of computer vision, from identifying suspicious objects at Houston Station to enhancing athletic performance in professional football. The panel also highlights how AI is becoming a vital tool in healthcare, dramatically accelerating the processing of brain scans to save lives.

As the conversation shifts toward the future, the team breaks down the rise of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). They explore the critical importance of Sovereign AI, explaining how businesses can leverage techniques like RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and fine-tuning to keep their sensitive data behind their own firewalls. Whether you are a small business looking for a $4,000 entry-level system or a large enterprise scaling up, this episode provides a roadmap for navigating the data-driven landscape of 2026.

Key topics include:

• Safety and Care: How pose estimation is being used for elderly care and fall detection.
• The Mechanics of LLMs: Why these models are "predictive" rather than "intelligent" in a human sense.
• Data Quality: Why every AI project is secretly a "data project in a hat and a false moustache".
• Local Execution: The shift toward processing AI locally to ensure privacy and security.

Think AI started with ChatGPT? Think again. In this episode of AI in Action, host Ben Price and the team from TD SYNNEX and NVIDIA pull back the curtain on the decades-long pedigree of artificial intelligence.

From the 2012 "AlexNet" explosion to Jensen Huang’s legendary delivery of the first DGX-1 to OpenAI, we explore how hardware, specifically the GPU, transformed AI from a theoretical research pursuit into the powerhouse it is today.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "Hoover" of AI: Why ChatGPT isn't the whole story.
• The GPU Revolution: How NVIDIA transitioned from gaming to the backbone of AI infrastructure.
• Predictive AI vs. AI Washing: Real-world use cases in industrial IoT and Cybersecurity.
• Data Sovereignty: The rise of "Private GPTs" and why your data shouldn't always live in the cloud.

Hosted by Ben Price, this debut episode introduces the strategic partnership between TD SYNNEX and NVIDIA. The discussion focuses on demystifying the complex landscape of Artificial Intelligence, moving beyond buzzwords to practical business applications, and how partners can leverage the European Centre of Excellence to deliver real-world solutions.
