WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.477
Please, please have a seat. Now,
I'm sure we can do a bigger round of

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:07.037
applause for one of the greatest two

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.277
leaders of our history. Let's go ahead.

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:15.117
So, we're talking about I lost count,

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:17.357
you know, 7 to8 trillion dollars worth

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.597
of market cap comp. I lost count. But

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:24.637
right now, we're here to celebrate a

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:28.717
historic moment. A moment that yesterday

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.957
during the dinner and thank you for for

00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:34.637
joining us under the patronage of the

00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:38.637
honorable president and his royal
highness the crown prince Musedi where

00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:40.397
we had the pleasure to hear it

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:44.317
firsthand. This is the greatest alliance

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:47.357
between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:50.077
the United States where we have joined

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:52.637
hands and you have helped us build our

00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:55.437
energy based economy fueling and

00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.237
energizing the industrial age and now

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.397
fast forward going to the intelligence

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:04.557
age where we can fuel AI factories

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.557
robotics EVs and all of the rest.

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.237
Speaking of that, let's start with you
Elon if you don't mind Jensen and feel

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:14.637
free to chive in you have a big

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:17.597
fascination of something all of us have

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.157
admired first order thinking which

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:22.477
Jensen sometimes calls first order

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.517
scaling which is an opportunity for how

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.557
you have dropped the cost of batteries

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.757
from a thousand for kilowatt hour to

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.637
subund bucks and right now you're doing

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:36.877
the same thing with robotics for

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:40.877
actuators with servo rotors and motors.

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:43.837
So I want to hear from you. How do you

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.957
manage to always disrupt every single

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.677
industry with that thinking?

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.557
Well, it's mostly not disruption, it's

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.317
uh creation. So with uh say SpaceX with

00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.397
reusable rockets, uh there really

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.077
weren't any reusable rockets. Um,

00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:08.957
but the essence of getting
of revolutionizing space travel is

00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:10.877
reusability. If you throw the rocket

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.277
away every time, the cost of access to

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.637
space is extremely high. Um, with

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:21.197
respect to electric cars, there there
weren't any electric cars when we

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.997
started making them really. You couldn't
buy any to the best of my knowledge. Um,

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.917
so with Tesla, we wanted to make

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.077
electric cars compelling um, and

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:33.917
affordable. That was the goal. Um the uh

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.157
you know with respect to humanoid
robotics, there are no useful humanoid

00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.157
robotic robots at this point. Um there
are sort of gimmicks, but there are

00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.037
there are no actually useful humanoid
robots. Um and I think Tesla's going to

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:51.037
make the first actually useful humanoid
robots. Um and this will be quite a

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:56.077
revolution and I think something that will
that everyone will want. Uh because

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:01.357
I always think of like who who wouldn't
want their own personal C3PO R2-D2.

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:05.037
>> Oh yeah, >> of course
everyone would want one,

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.917
right? And and then there would be many
in industry uh providing products and

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.357
services. This is why I say that
humanoid robots will be the biggest

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:15.917
industry or the biggest product ever.

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.477
Um, bigger than cell phones or anything

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.557
else because everyone's going to want

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:23.437
one and uh or maybe more than one and

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.877
there'll be many in industry. Um,

00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.557
>> I just want R2-D2 in C3PO's body.

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:34.477
>> Yeah, there you go. Um, [laughter] >>
well, I mean, a humanoid robot would be

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.717
better than R2-D2 and C3 VO combined.

00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:37.917
Yeah. Times 10.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.917
>> Yeah. So the it and and you know people

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.037
often talk about uh sort of eliminating

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.037
poverty and that kind of thing
but really the there's how long have they

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.357
been talking about that? Um there's
lots of talk uh you know there's lots of

00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:55.677
NOS's sort of trying to do these things

00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:58.717
but but really not succeeding. Um and

00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.877
and you know the evidence speaks for

00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.717
itself. Uh but but but AI and humanoid

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.997
robots will actually eliminate poverty.

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.717
And Tesla won't be the only one that
makes them. I think Tesla will pioneer

00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.317
this. But there will be many other
companies that make humanoid robots. But

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.197
there there is only basically one way
to uh make everyone wealthy and that is AI

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:21.037
and robotics.

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.277
And we can't talk about robotics without

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.317
AI factories. And yesterday was such a

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:29.197
historic day for the two nations but

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:32.557
also for all of us where we celebrate

00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:35.677
the AI strategic partnership with the US

00:04:35.760 --> 00:04:38.317
s signed witnessed by the honorable

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:40.797
president and his royal highness about

00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:44.797
how we are committing our capital energy

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:49.677
land to energize the AI US ecosystem to

00:04:49.760 --> 00:04:54.557
be able to build inference node training
nodes and to be the most AI enabled

00:04:54.640 --> 00:04:57.357
nation. With that announcement,
tell me what's

00:04:57.440 --> 00:04:59.677
what's next in AI factories. Jensen,

00:04:59.760 --> 00:05:01.837
>> there there's a there's a beautiful

00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.397
story about how Saudi Arabia's building

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.877
AI refineries now building AI fac
or oil refineries to AI factories.

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:12.717
>> I love that. >> I you know
I've said that that AI is an

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.997
infrastructure and the reason for that
of course we understand AI from the

00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:20.557
perspective of the technology and how
it's revolutionizing every industry.

00:05:20.640 --> 00:05:22.477
Digital intelligence of course has

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.077
applications into every every field and

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.677
so it's going to be used by every

00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:30.237
company, every industry, every country.

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:33.597
In that way, it's foundational and

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.357
therefore it's part of infrastructure.

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:39.357
What is new about AI from a computer

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:42.637
science perspective is that the way

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.037
computing was done in the past
was largely retrievalbased computing.

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.597
Somebody typed in a story or somebody

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.637
created a a piece of art or came came up

00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.517
with four versions of a digital ad or

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.357
it's all pre-built by somebody which is

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:02.157
then using a system to retrieve the

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.677
appropriate version for you. It's a

00:06:03.760 --> 00:06:07.277
retrievalbased computing model. Hadoop

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.157
and many of the the the frameworks
and operating systems of the past all

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.877
designed to retrieve the appropriate
information for you. But today software

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:19.117
is going to be generated in real time.

00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:23.277
It's generative based on the context,
based on the circumstance, based on who

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.117
you are, based on the problem you
ask that based on your prompt. It will

00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:32.077
generate unique content for you every
single time for everybody. It's unique.

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.477
When you use Grock, every time you use
it is different based on right based on

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.397
based on the based on the prompt that you
give it and based on the circumstance and

00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.037
>> and so therefore it used to be

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.957
retrievalbased

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.437
today it's generative and if it's

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:52.077
generative then and every time is
different then you need AI factories all

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.757
over the world to generate the content
in real time which is the reason why you

00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:59.757
need AI factories and and this is a
unique way of doing computation but the

00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:04.477
benefit of course is that Everything
isn't preconceived and pre-documented

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.557
and it's it's contextually s
contextually sensible and and therefore

00:07:08.640 --> 00:07:12.157
intelligent. >> So AI
factories and robotics and we

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.917
heard it yesterday from his royal

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.877
highness his vision how to augment our

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:19.677
workforce with roughly tens of millions

00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:22.637
of robotics to be able to infuse the

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.277
next wave of productivity and progress.

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.317
But this scares a lot of folks comes to

00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:32.877
the future of jobs. So let's hear about
your thoughts uh Elon and Jensen on

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:37.277
that. >> Uh sure. Well

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.677
um if you say like in the long term

00:07:39.760 --> 00:07:44.317
where will things end up long term?
I don't know what long term is. Maybe it's

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:46.317
10 20 years something like that. For me

00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:51.437
that's long term. Um my prediction
is that work will be optional.

00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:56.717
>> Optional. >> Optional. Um so

00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.717
>> we'll take that. >> Yeah.
I mean it it'll be like uh playing

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.397
sports or a video game or something like

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.757
that. Um if you want to work uh you know

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:07.997
in the same way like you can you can go

00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:12.877
to the store and just buy some
vegetables or you could grow vegetables

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:16.637
in your backyard. It's much harder
to grow vegetables in your backyard but

00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.237
some people still do it because they

00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:20.797
like growing growing vegetables. Um that

00:08:20.880 --> 00:08:25.677
will be what work is like optional.
Um now between now and then there's

00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:28.237
actually a lot of work
to get to that point. Mhm.

00:08:28.320 --> 00:08:31.117
>> Um, and I always recommend people read

00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:34.077
read Yin Banks uh culture books to get a

00:08:34.160 --> 00:08:37.917
sense for what a probable

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.437
positive AI future is like. Um, and

00:08:41.520 --> 00:08:43.757
interestingly in those books, money is

00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.037
no longer doesn't exist.

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.677
It's kind of interesting. And I I my guess
is in in if you go out long enough

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:53.437
assuming there's a continued improvement

00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:57.277
in AI and robotics which seems likely

00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.317
the money will will stop being relevant

00:09:00.400 --> 00:09:03.357
at some point in the future. Um now

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.237
there will still be constraints on power

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:10.077
like electricity and mass. Uh the

00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:12.077
fundamental physics elements will still

00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:15.997
be still be constraints. Um but um I

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.077
think at some point

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:23.197
uh currency becomes irrelevant.

00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:25.757
>> Jensen, any thoughts?

00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:30.570
>> Um [laughter]

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:34.957
by the way, the Nvidia earnings
call is later today. [laughter]

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:38.957
>> And by the way,
since currency is relevant.

00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:43.197
>> Cheers. >> [laughter]

00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:49.240
>> Elon just wants to share with you
some breaking [laughter] news.

00:09:51.470 --> 00:09:53.677
[laughter] The two of us
who like to share some

00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:57.117
breaking news. Uh let's see. I I would

00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.117
say I would say there there's um
different horizons you could look at.

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.357
Everybody's jobs will be different. That

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:08.717
I think that that's for sure. Uh how how
the students learn will be different. um

00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:12.077
uh how people do their work will be
different obviously because a lot of the

00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:14.557
things that that we do mundanely or

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:17.357
arduously or very difficultly are going

00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.077
to be done very simply and and so we're
going to be more productive from that s

00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:23.997
from that sense one of the things that I

00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.677
will say is that for most people or a

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:31.837
company if some if your life
becomes more productive

00:10:31.920 --> 00:10:34.317
and if the things that you're doing uh

00:10:34.400 --> 00:10:39.037
with great difficulty becomes simpler it
is very likely because you have so many

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.117
ideas, you'll have more time to go
pursue things. It is my guess that Elon

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.437
will be busier as a result of AI,
I'm going to be busier as a result of AI.

00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:51.197
And the reason for that is because we
have so many ideas we want to pursue, so

00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:55.037
many things that that we still have
in our backlog inside our company that we

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.037
can go pursue. If we were more
productive, we can get to those things

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.677
faster. And so in the near term I would

00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:06.077
say that that there is every evidence
that that we will be more productive and

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:10.477
yet still be busier because we have so
many ideas. One thing that I will say

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:13.037
give you give you some evidence is that

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.477
uh and I was just telling Elon about

00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:17.677
this earlier radiology for example has

00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:20.797
largely been uh converted to AIdriven

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:22.397
radiology and there's some really great

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.517
companies doing that and the surprising

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.477
thing is the prediction that all

00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:30.637
radiologists would be the first jobs to

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.677
go was exactly the opposite. The trend

00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:39.117
shows that there are more radiologists
being hired now as a result of AI. And

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.877
the reason for that, if you take
a step back, it's because the goal of a

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.757
radiologist is not to study the images.

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.237
The goal of a radiologist is to diagnose

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:53.037
a disease. Now, the studying of the
images became so productive. They could

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:57.197
study more images, study more
modalities, spend more time with the

00:11:57.280 --> 00:12:01.277
patients. And as a result, they were
actually accepting more patients. We're

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.237
doing more radiology all around the world.
We're doing a better job with

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.717
diagnosing disease. And so that's that's

00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:10.717
kind of the the nearterm near uh outcome

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:13.917
of of uh AI and productivity. And and

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.637
we'll see we'll see what
happens long term. You know, I I

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.397
when when currency doesn't matter
anymore, just you know, let me know

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.957
right before.

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:29.437
>> You'll see it coming.
[laughter] You'll see it coming like like

00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:31.677
>> we text often so just Yeah, we do.

00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:34.717
>> Yeah, just text it off. Yeah, let
me know. I kind of I kind of agree with

00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:37.117
with both of you because if you look at

00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.237
every technological trend every general

00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:45.517
purpose technology has been net new
positive for for the globe for humanity

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.997
and so forth and let me share with you two
things >> and your excellency I think it's

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.397
precisely the reason the reason for that
is because all the great ideas from from

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.837
innovators like Elon you
have so many good ideas

00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:01.677
>> that and Jason as well >>
yeah well you know thank you

00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:05.517
>> so let me share with you two
stories from two Saudi innovators in

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.757
collaboration with a lot of great
the great work that Nvidia does that gra

00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.157
does. So one of them is professor

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.277
Omaragi who's the first American Saudi

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.997
to win a Nobel prize in creating new

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.477
chemistry and the way he has done that

00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:22.957
he has leveraged your AI accelerators

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:27.597
and models like Grock to be able
to create new chemistry when it comes to

00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:29.837
metal organic frameworks. Those are

00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:32.317
metal ions that are positively charged

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:34.957
with organic linkers to be able to

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:38.637
effectively create a sponge with 33

00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.077
nanometers pores to capture water from

00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:46.077
air and also to capture carbon dioxide.

00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:49.277
The second story has also to do with AI

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.997
accelerated by Nvidia and with models

00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.637
like Brock which is nanop which is

00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.837
effectively creating a nano robot 500

00:13:57.920 --> 00:14:00.397
nanometers by a,000 nanometers to be

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.197
able to do gene editing leveraging the

00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:05.757
crisper technology to take out sickle

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.917
cell disease. Now in both these

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.717
instances they originated 20 years ago

00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:14.477
in research but AI was able to really

00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:19.677
accelerate the outcomes and the outputs
such that we can move into new value

00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:24.157
pools. So I think with every
technological trend humanity is going to

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.717
always manage to shift to new value
pools when it comes to workforce and

00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:32.637
productivity. But we have some great
announcements to talk about here today.

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.557
Let's begin with you Elon.
the things that we're doing with XAI.

00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:38.317
>> Uh yeah, we're excited to announce that

00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:43.437
um we're doing a a a uh a 500 megawatt I

00:14:43.520 --> 00:14:47.677
mean yeah 500 sorry >> 500 megawatt

00:14:47.760 --> 00:14:50.870
>> 500 megawatt. Yeah,
>> we're doing [laughter]

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:55.197
>> we're doing 500 megawatt.
>> Sorry. Yeah.

00:14:55.280 --> 00:14:56.957
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The 500 g one will

00:14:57.040 --> 00:15:01.357
have to wait. Um so um that that'll be

00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.487
eight bazillion trillion dollars. Um,

00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:05.917
[laughter]

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:11.830
stop that. >> Uh, [laughter]

00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:16.317
>> so yeah, we we're we're doing a um XAI

00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:19.117
and the King of Saudi Arabia are doing a a

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:23.357
>> Humane 500 megawatt starting with 50
megawatt phase one and we're doing it

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.757
with Nvidia. Congratulations to the

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.157
Humane team to target team. Such a

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.117
fantastic job. Jensen, I think we're
also doing some great announcements. Uh

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.437
this week >> we are [laughter] >>
well we're we're announcing we're

00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:41.037
announcing all kinds of things. Um uh
our partnership with Humane is is going

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:44.077
incredibly well. First of all uh we we

00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:46.077
uh work together to get this company

00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:49.197
started and off the ground and just got

00:15:49.280 --> 00:15:52.237
an incredible customer with Elon.

00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.717
Could you imagine a startup company

00:15:54.800 --> 00:15:58.237
approximately 0 billion in revenues now

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.197
going to uh build a data center for Elon?
uh 500 megawatts is gigantic. Uh

00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:05.117
this company is off the charts uh right

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:11.677
away. Uh in addition to that, we're um
uh working working uh AWS as you know is

00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:16.237
also >> congratulations
to the humane team with AWS

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.157
starting with 100 megawatts with a

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.437
gigawatt ambition and uh counting.

00:16:21.520 --> 00:16:23.997
>> So AWS is also coming to humane. Uh

00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.997
we're working with uh humane on

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.117
omniverse uh digital twins. uh as you

00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.637
know that AI is not just well a just

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:37.437
agentic AI and chat bots and uh
cognitive AI is incredibly important to

00:16:37.520 --> 00:16:39.517
the world uh but AI applies to

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:44.797
everything chemicals and proteins and
genes and physics and fluid dynamics and

00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:48.797
particles and of course robotics
and activation and um and we created this

00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:51.197
world called Omniverse where robots can

00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:54.317
learn how to be good robots and and it's

00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:58.957
physically based it obeys the laws of
physics and so robots can learn in these

00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:00.317
environments and we're working with

00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:03.517
Humane to apply Omniverse to all kinds

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.917
of uh digital factories and robotics and
warehouses and things like that. And so

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.397
that's that's another uh we're we're
also working uh in Saudi Arabia to build

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.637
supercomputers to simulate quantum

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.837
computers and and uh uh using our

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.237
computers to be the controller
and the error correction quantum error

00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:26.317
correction requires an enormous amount
of computation and so so we're doing a

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.837
lot of great work there too. So, a big
partnership with Humane. They're off the

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.037
charts. Um, off the ground and off
the charts at the same time.

00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:35.437
>> This is how we walk the talk in the

00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:37.197
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in partnership

00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:40.477
with the US. Yesterday, the president

00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:42.477
and his Royal Highness announced the AI

00:17:42.560 --> 00:17:44.877
strategic framework and partnership.

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:49.517
Today, we're going big with Elon
and Jensen. So, thank you for those

00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:53.610
opportunities. [applause]

00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.357
Now they they told me I have time for

00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:00.237
two last questions. So last night at the

00:18:00.320 --> 00:18:02.717
dinner I got a number of questions

00:18:02.800 --> 00:18:07.277
because it seems that the schedule
leaked and uh everybody was giving me

00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:09.037
hints about the last two questions I'm

00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:11.117
going to do. So the first one was for

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.277
you Elon and there's a big one for you

00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:18.797
Jensen. So prepare for that one. AI in

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.997
space is that possible?

00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:25.517
Uh yes, if if civilization continues,

00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:29.517
which it probably will,
uh then AI in space is inevitable.

00:18:29.600 --> 00:18:32.557
Um

00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.517
um you know, I always have
to like preface that, you know,

00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:41.517
we shouldn't take civilization for
granted. We we need to make sure to take

00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:43.837
care to ensure that civilization has an

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:48.557
an upward arc. I mean, any student of
history knows that civilization does not

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.277
always have an upward arc. And in fact,
civilizations have lif life cycles. So

00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:55.357
hopefully we are in a strong upward arc.

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.437
I think we are for now. Um but we don't

00:18:57.520 --> 00:18:58.717
want to take that for granted or be

00:18:58.800 --> 00:19:02.877
complacent. Um but the in order to the

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.117
way to think of AI in space is that
in order to achieve any meaningful

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.037
percentage of a cadesev two scale

00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:11.757
civilization where you're using even a

00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:14.397
millionth a millionth of the sun's

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.917
energy you must have solar powered AI

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.317
satellites in in deep space. Um so so

00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.237
that once you realize like once you
think in terms of a cottage two scale

00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:28.477
civilization which is what what

00:19:28.560 --> 00:19:30.877
percentage of the sun's energy are you

00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.757
turning into useful work um then you

00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:36.957
then it becomes obvious that space is

00:19:37.040 --> 00:19:39.517
overwhelmingly what matters

00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:41.757
overwhelmingly the the sun only receives

00:19:41.840 --> 00:19:44.957
one roughly 1/2 billionth of the earth

00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:48.077
only receives roughly u two billionth of

00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.077
the sun's energy

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.197
So if you want to have something that is

00:19:53.280 --> 00:19:55.517
say a million times more energy than

00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:57.837
Earth could possibly produce,

00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:03.597
>> you must go into space. It's and and so

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.837
um you know this is where it's kind
of handy to have a space company, I guess.

00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.397
Um sell the book. >> Easier
to cool chips in space, too.

00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.717
>> Yes. >> Easier to cool
chips in space. Yeah.

00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:17.037
>> Yes. There's definitely no water
in space, so you're going to have to do

00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:19.357
something. Yeah.
>> Uh that doesn't involve water.

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.837
>> Just hang out. >> Well,
it's you just got to radiate.

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.597
>> That's right. >> Um so

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.277
my estimate is that actually that that

00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:32.717
that the cost of of electricity like

00:20:32.800 --> 00:20:35.677
like the cost effectiveness of AI in

00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:38.797
space will be overwhelmingly better than

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.757
AI on the ground. So far long before you

00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:43.917
uh exhaust potential energy sources on

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.557
on Earth. Long long before meaning like

00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:49.277
I think even perhaps in the

00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:52.237
four or five year time frame the lowest

00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:55.917
cost way to do AI compute will be with

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.277
solar powered AI satellites.

00:20:59.360 --> 00:21:03.037
So I'd say not more than 5 years from now.

00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:06.317
>> Wow. >> And just look
at the supercomputers

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:10.157
we're building together. Let's say each
one of the racks is two tons. Out of

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.477
that two tons, 1.95 of it
is probably for cooling, >> right?

00:21:14.560 --> 00:21:17.437
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Just imagine how tiny that little

00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:21.117
supercomputer is, right? Each one
of these GB300 racks will just be a little

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.517
tiny thing. >> And and just
electricity generation is

00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:25.437
is already becoming a challenge.

00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:28.957
>> Um so if if you start doing any kind of

00:21:29.040 --> 00:21:31.277
scaling for both electricity generation

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:34.397
and cooling, um you realize, okay, space

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.637
is incredibly compelling. Um so

00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.357
like let's say you wanted to do um I

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:47.757
don't know two or 300 gawatt
per year um of of AI compute.

00:21:47.840 --> 00:21:50.157
>> Yeah. >> Um it's very
difficult to do that on

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.357
Earth. Uh the so the the uh US average

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:55.677
electricity usage uh last time I checked

00:21:55.760 --> 00:21:59.117
was around 460 gawatts per year average

00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:04.157
usage. Um so so something like say uh

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.317
you know three 300 if you're doing 300

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.437
gawatts a year that would be like 2/3
of US electricity production per year.

00:22:11.520 --> 00:22:15.517
>> There's no way you're building power
plants at that level. Um and then if you

00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:18.797
take it up to say a terowatt
per year impossible. Yeah.

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.037
>> Like you have to do that in space.

00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:23.197
>> There there just
is there just is no way

00:22:23.280 --> 00:22:26.637
to do a terowatt uh per year on Earth.

00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.157
Um

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.797
and uh and and in space you you've got

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:36.317
continuous solar. Um you've got uh you
don't you actually don't need batteries

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:37.757
because it's always sunny in space.

00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:41.597
>> Right. Exactly.
>> Um and um and and the solar panels

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.797
actually become cheaper because you

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:48.797
don't need glass or framing. Um and
the cooling is just radiative. So that's

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.037
that's why I think >> that's the dream.

00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:53.997
>> Yes, >> that's the dream.
So Jensen, everybody

00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:58.557
last night was asking me, and I'm
mindful it's a earnings uh call for you

00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.477
today. So I'm going to say this
delicately. Everybody has been asking me

00:23:02.560 --> 00:23:06.477
to ask you, are we going
to have an AI bubble? [laughter]

00:23:06.560 --> 00:23:10.877
That's the last question.
All right, let's No.

00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:14.717
All right, let me Well, let me just hear
you what we see. Okay, so so I I think

00:23:14.800 --> 00:23:18.077
it's really important when you look at
what's happening around the world and go

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.037
back to first principles of what's
happening in computer science and

00:23:21.120 --> 00:23:25.277
computing. There are three things
that that's happening. The first thing is

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:29.117
that we all know that Moore's law has
run its course and the ability that the

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.557
amount of demand for computing versus
the amount of computation we can get out

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.157
of general purpose computing is really
challenging and so the world's been

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.277
moving to accelerated computing for some
time. We've been pushing this now for

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:41.997
some over 20 years. Let me give you one

00:23:42.080 --> 00:23:44.637
statistic. I was just at supercomputing

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.157
six years ago. Uh

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.517
CPUs were 90% of the world's

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:53.597
supercomputers, top 500 supercomputers

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:58.157
six years ago. This year less than 15%.

00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.357
Went from 90% to 10%. And meanwhile,

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:06.157
accelerated computing went from the
other way, 10% to now 90%. Okay, so

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.557
you're seeing that inflection point, the
transition in high performance computing

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.757
from general purpose computing
to accelerated computing. Well, one of the

00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:17.437
one of the most data intensive one
of the most intensive computation things

00:24:17.520 --> 00:24:21.437
that the world does in cloud is data
processing. Several hundred billion

00:24:21.520 --> 00:24:23.997
dollars of computation is done on just

00:24:24.080 --> 00:24:27.037
raw data processing. That Rexus is the

00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:31.117
engine of the internet today that's
going generative AI. It used to be

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.357
running on CPUs now runs on GPUs. Which

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.157
then says the third thing when if you

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.197
just look at those two applications

00:24:39.280 --> 00:24:41.837
many of the internet companies can build

00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.477
enormous number of GPU supercomputers

00:24:44.560 --> 00:24:49.197
just doing that of course then it
creates this the third opportunity on

00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:52.957
top of it which is agentic AI this
is grock and this is open AI this is

00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:57.677
anthropic you know this is Gemini
agentic AI sits on top of that but don't

00:24:57.760 --> 00:25:01.677
you know don't forget to think
about what is happening

00:25:01.760 --> 00:25:04.637
above underneath ath what everybody sees

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:09.197
as AI today. There's a whole movement of
computing from general purpose computing

00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:12.797
to accelerated computing.
And that if you just if you take that into

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:14.557
consideration, you'll come to the

00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.277
conclusion that in fact what is left

00:25:17.360 --> 00:25:20.557
over to fuel that revolutionary agentic

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.597
AI is not only substantially less than

00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.637
you thought and all of it justified.

00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:28.877
Well, I was just informed by the team

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:31.677
that my boss and your bosses is going to

00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:36.397
talk next, the honorable president and
his royal highness the crown prince and

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.637
hence we ran out of time. But in

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.837
essence, [applause]

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.997
this is a such so much love for you Elon

00:25:46.080 --> 00:25:49.197
and and Jensen. But this in essence is a

00:25:49.280 --> 00:25:51.677
92 alliance

00:25:51.760 --> 00:25:54.797
that shifted from energy to digital to

00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.677
the intelligence age powered by pioneers

00:25:57.760 --> 00:26:00.157
such as Elon and Jensen to serve

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.197
humanity and create on a net new basis

00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:05.757
new economies, new jobs and a better

00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:10.317
future for humanity powered by the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United

00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:14.077
States. Thank you for our lifetime
partnership and friendship. Thank you

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.177
Elon. Thank you Jensen. >> Thank you.

00:26:17.260 --> 00:26:19.280
>> [applause]

00:26:20.530 --> 00:26:22.550
[music]
