The robots were everywhere. Some pedaled around like “Star Wars” droids. Others manipulated hospital surgery equipment. They all provided a glimpse of what a future powered by artificial intelligence could look like.
Nvidia, the world’s largest maker of artificial intelligence chips, brought the robots together as part of its annual developer conference in San Jose, Calif. The event, formally known as Nvidia GTC, has become the Super Bowl of A.I.
The weeklong showcase of robots, large language models (the systems behind A.I.-powered chatbots) and autonomous cars drew a who’s who of industry leaders and more than 25,000 attendees. They were there to learn about the latest A.I. technologies and hear Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, speak about A.I.’s future. Here are some photos and videos from the A.I. extravaganza:

About 12,000 people packed into San Jose’s National Hockey League arena to hear Mr. Huang speak. “Every single year, more people come, because A.I. is able to solve more interesting problems for more industries,” Mr. Huang said.
The city’s convention center offered demonstrations of how A.I. is being used in the real world.
Nvidia has become one of the world’s three most valuable companies by selling the chips and machines, like this Nvidia DGX system, that are used to build A.I. systems.
