Nvidia was founded to design a specific kind of chip called a graphics card — also commonly called a GPU (graphics processing unit) — that enables the output of fancy 3D visuals on the computer screen. For most of Nvidia’s existence, game graphics were Nvidia’s raison d’etre. AMD’s most recent gross margin was only 47 percent.

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a 3D laser imaging technology that has been around for over half a century. Software then interprets the information, building up an image of the reflected object. From left: Mo Li, Bingzhao Li, and Qixuan Lin. It is a straightforward implementation of a good idea, and it works.”

DeepMind’s AlphaFold system, which uses AI to predict the 3D structure of just about every protein in existence, was so impressive that the journal Science named it 2021’s Breakthrough of the Year. You can even see it in the first paragraph of this story, which was largely generated for me by the OpenAI language model GPT-3.
