A product announcement from one of the world's leading artificial intelligence companies could mean big things for the future of work.

In Silicon Valley on Monday (EST) the CEO of Nvidia unveiled a new chip 'Blackwell' for powering generative AI models that promises to be faster, higher powered, and more energy efficient to run.

James Thomson is a senior columnist for Chanticleer in the Australian Financial Review and he joins Emile Donovan to explain the significance of the Blackwell.
