Nvidia already offers versions of its chips, computers and software for use in networks and hopes to expand that business. Without wireless networks enabled for AI traffic, Nvidia’s vision of a world full of humanoid robots and self-driving cars might be slower to emerge. Nvidia said that new gear and software needs to be fundamentally open. In such an environment, the telecommunications industry would be far more open to the emergence of new providers, including start-ups that might rapidly attain billion-dollar valuations, Vasishta said.
