1 Chapter I: Introduction 1.1 Background Artificial Intelligence has become an important part of many advanced economies. Starting from the availability of online infrastructure in the global community, with the explosion of technology such as cloud, and more online infrastructure like the internet, especially high-speed internet becoming more and more accessible to more people has resulted in explosion of data such as emails, text and voice messages, images and videos using their customer service, and social media platforms which has helped the rapid growth of technology like AI which is dependent on constant data ingestion. (Okwechime, 2017) This has been the reason for the fast growth of the industry, and the reason why there has been a pursuit of the technology has been numerous. One of the factors that has resulted in this pursuit of Ai would be competition as nations and companies are seeking to achieve the best artificial intelligence in the world. The 21 st century has shown an exponential growth in AI. There has been a renewed interest in the subject within the start of the new century, within the start of the 2000s to 2015, there were 58,447 publications and 1,206,478 citations. The number of publications during that period was growing, the number of author lists was increasing, the number of self-references was decreasing, and there seemed to have been a focus on topics such as computer vision, feature extraction and pattern recognition, etc. (Liu et al., 2018, p. 34404). This meant a number of things but in general it meant that the research scene for artificial intelligence has become more diverse, collaborative, challenging and more focused. There is now a race for Artificial Intelligence. Companies all over the world are seeking to be the one who produces the best AI. It is the fastest growing sector in the tech industry. Some of the biggest companies have been making a push for this technology. Some of the most well known companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, and companies within sectors other than tech like JP Morgan, bank of america and others. This phenomenon is also happening outside of America with the large investment companies in Europe, like DarkTrace in the UK or Lucas GC in China, China in particular has invested 63 billion yuan (8.7 billion dollar) in 2024 according to ITJuzi. Nvidia was a well-known gaming company, they design high quality hardware for PC, and they are a generally well-liked brand among their consumers with many of the complaints toward their product 2 being that they are expensive. However, in the past 5 years there has been a shift, now even regular person might know about the company due to its rapid rise in stock prices as it has risen a total of around 2500 percent in the past 5 years, and become one of the most held stocks by investor including in apps like the interactive investor. (Interactive Investor, 2024) Nvidia is one of the companies which has been benefiting from the massive AI investment in US, China and Europe. It has been a well known brand within the gaming industry as many consumers who use computers for gaming likely know the brand’s name as they are synonymous with high quality and priced gaming GPU.
