Network World | John Sheehy, IOActive Senior Vice President, Research & Strategy, was recently featured in a piece from Network World discussing the rising trend of enterprise AI packages that vendors are pushing out. Sheehy expanded on these packages’ reliance on Nvidia GPUs & the “concentration of risk” that comes with that reliance.
“… “They all require the same core Nvidia building blocks,” says John Sheehy, SVP of research and strategy at IOActive, a cybersecurity firm. That creates a monoculture almost entirely reliant on one company for a critical node in the supply chain for AI and “exposes everyone in society to an unacceptable concentration of risk.”
“Similarly, TSMC is a similarly critical node in the supply chain for the manufacture of the Nvidia chips,” he adds. “This dependence on a single chip foundry just offshore of an expansionist, revisionist power should worry everyone.” …”
