Japanese telecommunications and computer company Fujitsu and US chip giant Nvidia Corp have agreed to jointly develop artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure to create AI agents operating in robotics and other fields.
Fujitsu announced a collaboration agreement with Nvidia on Friday (3/10) according to Kyodo news on Saturday (4/10).
In this case, Fujitsu is trying to integrate its central processing unit (CPU) with Nvidia's graphics processing unit (GPU), which is the main driver of AI technology.
This move places Fujitsu among Japanese companies collaborating with US companies in the AI field, such as Hitachi Ltd., which has announced a partnership with OpenAI, the developer and operator of ChatGPT.
"Computing power is accelerating the progress of AI," Fujitsu President and CEO Takahito Tokita said at a press conference in Tokyo, which was also attended by Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang.
