Nvidia Bets Big on Healthcare AI - What Investors Need to Know
Nvidia is going all-in on transforming the healthcare industry through artificial intelligence. At recent industry conferences, CEO Jensen Huang emphasized Nvidia's "determination" to revolutionize how drugs are discovered, designed, and how medical instruments like ultrasound and CT scanners operate by infusing them with AI capabilities.
This healthcare AI push has been years in the making for Nvidia, predating recent generative AI breakthroughs. But the COVID-19 pandemic provided a tailwind by accelerating healthcare's shift to virtual and digital technologies.
