When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks, the tech industry listens. He used his first-ever post on X last week to argue that open AI models "strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty."
Nvidia is a chip company (with a focus on GPUs). But it also has its own AI models that include Nemotron, an open-weight model that's free to download and modify. The company is also pushing for open AI technologies and security through the Nemotron Coalition and the newly launched Open Secure AI Alliance.
With Huang's recent comments in mind, Computerworld sat down with Kari Briski, Nvidia's vice president of generative AI (genAI) software, to find out more about open models and why they matter for enterprise and sovereign applications.
