Beyond Generative AI: GFT’s Key Takeaways from NVIDIA GTC 2025

The keynote address by Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, went far beyond the same, oft-discussed talking points related to generative AI (GenAI) to illustrating what will actually soon be our reality, that is, AI reasoning. Rather than simply retrieving information and generating content, reasoning in AI understands context, solves complex problems and makes intelligent decisions. AI reasoning has enormous potential for transforming the finance, health care and manufacturing sectors, and aligns perfectly with GFT’s mission to deliver cutting-edge, data-driven solutions.

The overarching theme of the GTC conference, and Huang’s message, was underlining the importance of data quality. The NVIDIA CEO emphasized how high-quality training data will make the difference between mediocre AI applications and transformative ones, especially for robotics and autonomous systems. We are already tackling that challenge head-on with our deep experience in data management and AI implementation.

There were significant announcements in hardware and software, as well. Huang introduced the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, the NVIDIA Dynamo OS and the NVIDIA Isaac GROOT N1 robotics platform, signaling a major leap forwards in AI infrastructure. In the sectors in which we specialize, namely manufacturing and logistics, these are game changers.

There was more value to be had at GTC 2025 in the deep dives of various sectors. There was one particular theme that stood out across the banking, automotive and defense sectors, that of businesses having moved beyond AI experimentation to building agentic AI workforces. AI is enhancing human productivity, automating high-impact processes and turning unstructured data into actionable insights.

Ford’s Director of AI, Bryan Goodman, shared how GenAI is already optimizing internal workflows—and GFT’s technology powers some of Ford’s AI implementations. We’re playing a key role in driving real-world AI adoption, and Goodman’s presentation showed how to scale AI with measurable ROI.

AI still has its hurdles, and security, privacy and governance were all discussed in depth throughout the event. Everyone who spoke at GTC 2025 stressed the necessity of AI output evaluation, data protection and ethical deployment, all principles at the core of GFT’s approach.

Naturally, the most valuable part of GTC 2025 was strengthening our collaboration with NVIDIA even further. We spoke about the future of our partnership with key leaders like Tom Lister, Dr. Jochen Papenbrock and Johnross (JR) Reyes, discussions that will shape future innovations and ensure we continue to deliver top-tier AI solutions to our clients.

GFT is more committed than ever to aiding businesses in navigating the new AI landscape as well as shaping their transformations. AI adoption isn’t the future—strategic, intelligent and responsible AI leverage is. Following GTC 2025, we’re thrilled to lead the charge.
