The Silicon Gold Rush: How AI is Driving the Development of New Chips

The California Gold Rush created fortunes not only for prospectors, but also for the people selling picks and shovels. The contemporary version of that story is the explosive demand for AI hardware. To discuss this, Bill Dally, Nvidia's Chief Scientist and Senior Vice President of Research, joined Norm Jouppi, Google's VP and Technical Fellow, for a conversation led by Dave Patterson, a CHM Fellow and UC Berkeley Pardee Professor of Computer Science Emeritus. This CHM Live program was recorded on August 27, 2026.
