The NVIDIA and Meta founders will discuss the future of artificial intelligence, generative AI, simulations, and the pivotal role of research at SIGGRAPH on July 29 at 4 pm MDT
SIGGRAPH 2024, the premier conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques, has announced a rare joint public appearance of NVIDIA founder/CEO Jensen Huang and Meta founder/CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the 51st annual conference on July 29, at 4 pm MDT. The chat between the two tech giants will be one of several prominent Keynote Presentations coming to the conference from Sunday, July 28 to Thursday, August 1.
"It is truly unique to have two noteworthy technology leaders, Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg, come together to discuss fundamental research in AI and virtual worlds,” stated SIGGRAPH 2024 Conference Chair Andrés Burbano. “These complex topics not only shape our world but also pose challenges to our industry, and these leaders can influence forward momentum to drive change for the better."
Huang and Zuckerberg will discuss the future of AI and simulation and the pivotal role of research at SIGGRAPH, which focuses on the intersection of graphics and technology. The two leaders will consider how fundamental research is enabling AI breakthroughs, and how generative AI and open source will empower developers and creators. The pair will also reflect on the role of generative AI in building virtual worlds, and virtual worlds for building the next wave of AI and robots.
Before the Fireside Chat with Zuckerberg, Huang will also headline a Fireside Chat with WIRED Senior Writer Lauren Goode to discuss AI and graphics for the new computing revolution on July 29 at 2:30 pm MDT.
Since its inception in 1974 in Boulder, Colorado, SIGGRAPH has been at the forefront of innovation in computer graphics and interactive techniques. The conference has introduced the world to revolutionary demonstrations, such as the "Aspen Movie Map," a precursor to Google Street View, and one of the first screenings of Pixar's "Luxo Jr.", which redefined the art of animation.
