El Salvador Teams Up with Nvidia for AI Mastery. Hold Onto Your Hats!

by

Oh, El Salvador. First, they made Bitcoin the official currency (like, who does that?), and now they’re cozying up with Nvidia to sprinkle some AI magic into their national development. What’s next? A robot president? 👀

On April 21, the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) of El Salvador proudly announced their new partnership with Nvidia. They’re calling it “sovereign AI.” No big deal, just a tiny step toward world domination (kidding… mostly). Their goal? Drive innovation and economic growth, duh. 🌱

As part of this techy love affair, El Salvador will get all the shiny AI tools, resources, and expertise Nvidia has to offer. Think culture, language, environment, economy… basically, all the buzzwords. They’re basically turning El Salvador into the AI version of the Avengers. 💥

According to their press release (because we all read those), El Salvador is committed to building its own AI infrastructure, making its people smarter, and solving real-life problems like better healthcare, education, and… you guessed it, more productivity. Because who doesn’t need more productivity? 🙄

AI Training for Government Bigwigs and Tech Gurus

And in case you thought they were just casually sipping AI Kool-Aid, El Salvador is setting up training programs for developers, researchers, and government officials. Yes, officials. They want to make sure the entire country is on board with their AI dreams. Can you imagine your average politician learning AI? 😂

One of their first brilliant ideas? AI-driven models for weather forecasting. Nothing says “we’re ahead of the game” like predicting rain so you don’t get caught in a landslide. Super practical. 💧

Wait, El Salvador’s Already Doing This?

Well, it turns out El Salvador isn’t new to the AI game. Oh no, they’re adding Nvidia to their growing list of AI escapades like a tech-obsessed overachiever. Back in March, they launched the CUBO_ai program, which they claim is “the only national education program bringing in top-tier field experts.” 😏 Because why not get Cathie Wood, the Bitcoin guru, to kick things off with the first lecture? Is there a TED Talk happening here? 📚

Oh, and by the way, Cathie Wood predicted that this Bitcoin-AI combo will grow El Salvador’s GDP by 10 times by 2029. That’s some serious ambition. Good luck with that! 🍀

But, as usual, it’s not all smooth sailing. While El Salvador is all in on AI, their Bitcoin obsession is getting some pushback. The International Monetary Fund is basically saying, “Uh, can we slow down with the Bitcoin?” as they dangle a $1.4 billion deal over their heads. Yet, El Salvador is still adding one Bitcoin a day. Because why not? 🙄
