Zest for AI applications swelling Nvidia's market value

Santa Clara, California

ENGINEERS at CTA.ai, an imaging-technology startup in Poland, are trying to popularise a more comfortable alternative to the colonoscopy. To do so, they are using computer chips that are best known to video game fans.

The chips are made by the Silicon Valley company Nvidia. Its technology can help sift speedily through images taken by pill-size sensors that patients swallow, allowing doctors to detect intestinal disorders 70 per cent faster than if they pored over videos. As a result, procedures cost less and diagnoses are more accurate, said Mateusz Marmolowski, CTA's chief executive.
