Show Notes
Lots of companies are trying to use technology to make things easier and better. Yum! Brands, the company that owns Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut, is using voice AI in its drive-thrus to take orders. Over 2 million orders have been taken this way at Taco Bell, making it the biggest fast food brand in the world to use voice AI! Amazon is trying out deliveries with drones in Phoenix, Arizona. They're using a new drone called the MK30 that can fly farther, is quieter, and can even fly in the rain! On the other hand, Intel wanted to sell lots of its AI chips called Gaudi, but they're not selling as well as they hoped. Meanwhile, AMD, another company that makes AI chips, is doing better and thinks they'll sell even more next year. However, both Intel and AMD are still far behind Nvidia, the leading company in AI chips, which makes a lot of money from them.
