Dell and NVIDIA: Bringing Generative AI to the Enterprise

The tremendous upsurge of popularity around ChatGPT and Generative AI is peaking customer and business’ interests alike. Enterprises see the potential for real productivity increases with Generative AI (GenAI), unlocking data value that accelerates their business, from decision-making to digital transformation. That’s why Dell Technologies is working with NVIDIA together to simplify and accelerate Generative AI deployment.

Today, the companies announced a collaboration to deliver Project Helix, an integrated approach to enable faster, full-stack GenAI deployments so organizations of all sizes can accelerate their business transformation, scale their AI consistently and deliver trusted AI outcomes.

Evolving Enterprise Use Cases

Businesses have already experienced the value of traditional AI, scaling many initiatives into production to automate complex processes, increase productivity and accelerate results and outcomes in specific use cases around fraud detection, data, analytics and medical scientific research.

Now comes the potential of GenAI applications like ChatGPT and numerous open-source options, revealing even greater potential opportunities for AI to extract and produce new forms of value and richer insights from existing data, enable faster decision-making and increase productivity. In fact, what were once potential use cases for traditional AI are becoming real with Generative AI, and this is just the tip of the iceberg:

• Digital assistants including retail, business operations, sales, legal, HR and hiring services help accelerate and facilitate insights and recommendations
• Customer support and call centers advance customer support resolution with knowledge base data, reducing response times and improving customer satisfaction (such as net promoter score)
• Developers, code generation and code efficiency and UI/UX design drive faster IP development to reuse and deliver better features and customer purchase experience
• Creative, sales and marketing scripting and creative content generation automate on-demand needs to improve the customer experience, with insights into purchase history and richer B2C collaboration
• Healthcare, research sciences and medicine are already transforming and advancing health care and sciences with new breakthroughs in medicine, and numerous other use cases are rapidly emerging to automate more functions across organizations

Addressing Enterprise Needs

As with traditional AI, enterprises have unique needs to determine how new technologies like GenAI can improve their ROI and deliver value for emerging use cases.

• Customers want to accelerate their time to results from Generative AI strategies, infrastructure and expertise that will increase value for the business direction and support their continued transformation.
• They want to secure their data, reduce data risk and compromise and enable trusted AI outcomes that will impact their business. This requires a two-prong strategy, to first ensure data operations remain on-premises for GenAI treatment (and mitigate risks of company IP sent to the cloud) and secondly, to activate trusted methods that refine responses with guardrails and tuning procedures.
• Businesses want to restore agility, become leaders in their own market and leverage a more skilled AI workforce that readily converts company-specific or proprietary data into faster recommendations for the enterprise and competitive outcomes.
• They want to achieve more automation, which drives faster, higher-value outcomes from their operations and leverage repeatable processes and scalable growth of their business.
• They want to control and manage their infrastructure and operations, so they can drive higher ROI with on-premises, owned approaches.
