• Nvidia announced a partnership with Yum! Brands, the parent company of Taco Bell and KFC, which would integrate its AI tech into the fast-food chain’s drive-thru ordering systems, as well as make suggestions to both customers and staff that would improve wait times and efficiency. McDonald’s and Wendy’s have similarly integrated AI, but with mixed success, with some customers complaining of wildly incorrect orders. 

Taco Bell customers can now order guac with chips—or rather, order guac with the help of semiconductor chips.
