Technology giants NVIDIA Corporation and Foxconn have announced they will collaborate on the development of a “new class” of data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) programs.
Aimed at accelerating the “AI industrial revolution”, these centers - dubbed AI factories - will support the use of the technology across different sectors.
“We will be helping the whole industry move much faster into the new AI era,” Foxconn chief executive Young Liu said.
“A new type of manufacturing has emerged - the production of intelligence.”
The centers could continuously collect and process data to keep learning, including from electric vehicles (EVs), Nvidia boss Jensen Huang continued.
“The data would go to the AI factory. The AI factory would improve the software and update the entire AI fleet," he explained.
Foxconn, which produces iPhones for Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), also unveiled its latest electric cargo van on Wednesday at the event with Nvidia, as the company looks to expand from the personal device sector into EVs.
