      Nvidia, now as valuable as Apple and Microsoft, has transformed our world, yet its story remains largely untold. This account chronicles the ascent of one of the greatest technology companies of our time. In June 2024, thirty-one years after its inception in a diner, Nvidia emerged as the most valuable corporation globally. The narrative centers on how a designer of video game equipment dominated the AI hardware market, fundamentally reshaping computing. Central to this success is CEO Jensen Huang, who, over a decade ago, gambled his entire company on AI based on promising scientific results. With unprecedented access to Huang, his associates, investors, and employees, Stephen Witt reveals the company's remarkable rise and Huang's relentless leadership, making him a pivotal figure in Silicon Valley. The account details Nvidia's evolution into a provider of hundred-million-dollar supercomputers and Huang's defiance of Wall Street to realize his radical vision for computing, leading to immense wealth. It also highlights a revolution in computer architecture driven by a small group of innovative engineers. As Huang envisions a 'next industrial revolution' powered by new microchips, the future of AI unfolds with hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, and generative art. This is the story of the company shaping our future.

    • THE FOLLOW UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE AGE OF AIThree pioneering thinkers offer a powerful guide to our future amid AI's rapid acceleration.Artificial intelligence is advancing at an alarming rate. Our responses to them could transform the nature of truth and our relationship to reality, the exploration of knowledge, the physical evolution of humanity, the conduct of diplomacy and war, and the international system. These are the crucial issues of the coming decades.Future Al will facilitate enormous advances in education, healthcare and basic sciences. They could discover new medicines, or new materials to produce cleaner energy. They could predict the occurrence of earthquakes and design evacuation strategies, or revolutionize the availability of education in every language. Powers we have not yet imagined are set to infuse our daily lives - and come with technical and human risks. Today's technologies function in ways that their inventors did not predict, and that pattern is likely to continue. Their future capabilities, running at inhuman speeds, will require a fundamentally new form of control.Al seems to compress human timescales. Objects in the future are closer than they appear.Genesis is a powerful and intelligent guide to the years of change ahead.

      "We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything is about to change. Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy. None of us are prepared. As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies. In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other. Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia? This groundbreaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes 'the containment problem' -- the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies -- as the essential challenge of our age"--
