GTC 2025 - Announcements and Live Updates

What's next in AI is at GTC 2025. Not only the technology, but the people and ideas that are pushing AI forward - creating new opportunities, novel solutions and whole new ways of thinking. For all of that, this is the place.

Here's where to find the news, hear the discussions, see the robots and ponder the just-plain mind-blowing. From the keynote to the final session, check back for live coverage from San Jose, California.

Countdown to Keynote at GTC

The SAP Center is waking up, bathed in a soothing purple glow. A sea of attendees flows in - developers, researchers, business leaders - filling the space with a charge of anticipation.

Up on the big screen: the pre-show with Acquired podcast hosts Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, who are interviewing industry figures from the GTC show floor. Earlier today they even got a drop-in from NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang.

It's almost time.

At 10:00 a.m. PT, Huang takes the stage, setting the tone for everything unfolding at GTC. Crowds in the arena will feel it - the shuffle of last-minute arrivals, the glow of smartphone screens.

Those tuning in remotely won't miss a moment. Watch the keynote live. The future of AI, accelerated computing and everything in between is about to be unveiled.

Stay with us - we're just getting started.

Keynote Today: Tune In Early for the Preshow With Acquired The excitement starts long before NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang takes the stage. Catch the Live at NVIDIA GTC With Acquired broadcast now, featuring luminary speakers who'll offer fascinating insights into NVIDIA's remarkable journey over the past three decades.

State of AI Art: How Artists Bring AI, Robots Into Creative Process https://blogs.nvidia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/trim-art-video.mp4

Artists over millennia have created with every medium available - fruit and vegetable dyes, blocks of marble, acrylic paints, cameras, rendering software, 3D printers. They're now harnessing AI and robotics to build immersive experiences that reflect on the ways people respond to and interact with technology.

In a GTC panel discussion hosted today by Heather Schoell, creative director of AI strategy at NVIDIA, four artists shared how they use AI and robotics in their creative processes.

The integration of robotics in art is a very logical continuation in what is a very long spectrum of humans and our relationship to our tools, said panelist Catie Cuan, founder of consumer AI company Zenie and a postdoc at Stanford University, where she leads art and robotics efforts at the Stanford Robotics Center.

A former professional dancer, Cuan's works include an eight-hour duet with a robot arm and a symphony of dancing robots that played sounds as they moved.

Another panelist, Alexander Reben, was OpenAI's first artist in residence. He's used large language models, visual generative AI models and NeRFs to create 3D sculptures.

Interactive art by two of the panelists - Zolty, a kinetic and robotics artist known as BREAKFAST, and Emanuel Gollob, a doctoral researcher at the University of Arts Linz, Austria - is on display at the main entrance of GTC.

BREAKFAST works with real-time data to create large kinetic art sculptures that are on display aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship and the Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas. The studio's piece at GTC, titled Consumption, runs on an NVIDIA RTX GPU and features robotic arches that move in response to real-time data about water usage, including rainfall, reservoirs, groundwater levels and municipal supplies.

Gollob's robotic installation, called Doing Nothing With AI, uses generative robot control, brainwave measurements and reinforcement learning to move in a way that guides a participant wearing an EEG headband to do nothing and enjoy a moment of inaction.

Josh Parker, senior director of corporate sustainability at NVIDIA, was joined by Lauren Risi from the Wilson Center, David Sandalow from Columbia University and Bernhard Lorentz of Deloitte.

In the world of climate change, there's an enormous amount of things that AI can do, said Sandalow. How can you mobilize AI tools to mitigate climate change?

The industry experts addressed concerns about energy efficiency with the rise of generative AI and the uptick in data centers.

NVIDIA GPUs are delivering 100,000x better energy efficiency over the past decade, said Parker, summing up the energy efficiency gains from NVIDIA GPUs.

BMW Group Shows Off 3D Collaboration for Battery Assembly Factories Avatars allow BMW Group to fly into battery assembly stations, observe and ask questions interactively. BMW Group presented the latest updates to its 3D AppStore today at GTC.

The 3D AppStore, BMW's cloud streaming service for high-end visualization, is now making it possible to support the automaker's battery assembly process across various factories worldwide. It allows engineers, designers and others to work in the digital environment collaboratively.

With the avatars, they see the factory scene and can be in there together, and then you can basically just ask what is happening here, and the AI gives you a detailed description of what the station here is doing, said Xaver Freiherr Loeffelholz von Colberg, product owner of 3D AppStore at BMW Group.

Offering a glimpse into the future of automotive design and manufacturing, BMW has two more speaker sessions on Thursday, March 20.
