We've talked a lot about the application and use cases around Artificial Intelligence but we have not really gone into the infrastructure that is powering this awesome technology.  In the season 7 finally of the Big Data Beard Podcast, Brett (https://twitter.com/bigdatabrett?lang=en)sits down with Nvidia's Chris Milroy (https://twitter.com/chris_milroy?lang=en) to dig into the technologies that are powering AI today.  Chris, a senior data scientist in Nvidia's (http://www.nvidia.com) public sector, talks about GPUs both past and present and their impact on the evolution of AI.  Its not just about GPUs however, Chris talks about the various hardware and software components, their impact on AI and Nvidia's strategy around integrating these components.  With Nvidia's recent ARM acquisition (https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-to-acquire-arm-for-40-billion-creating-worlds-premier-computing-company-for-the-age-of-ai), Chris gives a brief insight into why he is excited and how Nvidia is not just a GPU company.
