Cloud Unplugged

Saudi’s AI Empire, Nvidia’s Robot Plans, and talking Dolphins


Listen Later

In this, almost, but never quite, 30-minute episode, we investigate how Saudi Arabia is set to become the world’s next AI hub. Unravelling the state-backed initiative, HUMAIN, and the billions being channelled into local data-centre capacity with Nvidia and AWS.

We also uncover Nvidia’s newly open-sourced Isaac GR00T N1 foundation model, trained on vast libraries of human motion-capture, and the impact that is going to have on the robotics industry. When will they be coming for our jobs?

Finally, we explore the EnMap satellites now tracking CO₂ and NO₂  and if countries are even paying any attention to climate change. As well as finding out what dolphins think of humans by translating their conversations using Gemma AI.
