6. HOW AI COULD SPOT LUNG CANCER SOONER – AND SAVE LIVES
Lung cancer is the most common cancer
worldwide. It’s also one of the most deadly.
More than 80 percent of people with lung cancer
die within five years of being diagnosed, and
half die within a year. H. Michael Park, co-
founder of startup Innovation DX, is working to
improve those odds.
In December, his St. Louis-based medical
analytics company plans to release its first
product — a GPU-accelerated AI system that
detects lung cancer in its early stages from a
simple chest X-ray.
“Lung cancer is so deadly today because
it’s diagnosed so late. We wanted to see if
we could help people survive by detecting
it early.”

7. AI RESEARCHERS CAN NOW INNOVATE IN MINUTES, NOT WEEKS, WITH
NVIDIA GPU CLOUD
NVIDIA announced the NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC), a cloud-based
platform that gives developers convenient access – deskside or
the cloud -- to a comprehensive software suite for harnessing
the transformative powers of AI. Jim McHugh, vice president
and general manager of DGX Systems at NVIDIA, shared:
“We're designing a cloud platform that will unleash AI
developers, so they can build a smarter world. You can
do your best work no matter where you are, using our
latest technology in the cloud. It's accelerated
computing when and where you need it.”

8. AI4ALL IMPROVES STUDENT ACCESS TO AI RESOURCES THROUGH NVIDIA
PARTNERSHIP
Non-profit organization AI4ALL announced its
partnership with NVIDIA to increase its students’
access to AI resources, like training through NVIDIA’s
Deep Learning Institute, exposure to AI careers
through field trips, and access to mentors. As Greg
Estes, VP of Developer Programs at NVIDIA, said:
“AI4ALL is doing great work to establish pathways
into AI for students who might otherwise encounter
barriers that discourage them from getting
involved. Getting diverse voices into the field will
help ensure better outcomes for AI, which is why
we’re supporting AI4ALL to provide more access to
career experiences and educational resources.”

9. THE DEEP LEARNING INSTITUTE EXPANDS TO TRAIN THE NEXT
GENERATION OF AI EXPERTS
The MIT Technology Review shared the news
that NVIDIA is expanding its Deep Learning
Institute to address the growing need for data
scientists and developers with a proficiency
in deep learning. When MIT Tech Review
spoke to Andrew Ng, he emphasized the need
to bring AI education to the forefront:
“I don’t think every person on the planet
needs to know deep learning. But if AI is the
new electricity, look at the number of
electrical engineers and electricians there
are. There’s a huge workforce that needs to
be built up for society to figure out how to
do all of the wonderful stuff around us
today.”
