At the opening ceremony of the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced the launch of the "Blueprint for AI Agents." This new platform is based on NVIDIA's Metropolis system and aims to help organizations and individuals enhance productivity and safety, and even assist athletes in improving their performance.
Currently, over 1.5 billion enterprise-grade cameras are deployed globally, generating approximately 70 trillion hours of video data each year. However, less than 1% of video content is viewed in real-time by humans, which means many critical events may go unnoticed, leading to significant economic losses. For instance, the manufacturing sector loses up to hundreds of billions of dollars each year due to the failure to detect product defects in a timely manner.
The new AI blueprint allows developers to leverage powerful visual perception capabilities to create AI agents capable of analyzing vast amounts of video and image content. These AI agents can serve as around-the-clock video analysts, helping factories improve efficiency, enhance worker safety, and assist athletes in honing their skills.
This blueprint integrates NVIDIA's AI enterprise software platform, supporting rapid batch video processing at speeds 30 times faster than real-time viewing. Its built-in reasoning, task planning, and tool invocation features enable developers to streamline the creation of various visual agents to address complex problems. Businesses can flexibly deploy these AI agents as needed, from edge to cloud.
In the industrial sector, the application of these video analysis AI agents can significantly enhance production efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure standardized operations for complex processes. Additionally, they can optimize warehouse space utilization through 3D volume estimation, generate incident reports to improve safety, and quickly identify abnormal activities to prevent accidents.
The sports sector can also benefit from this technology. Coaches and sports teams rely on video analysis to assess and improve player performance, enhance safety, and elevate the viewer experience through data visualization. During the speech, Jensen Huang showcased an AI video analysis agent capable of analyzing amateur baseball players' pitching skills and providing improvement suggestions.
NVIDIA's media and entertainment industry is also actively exploring the potential of this technology, aiming to create smarter and more personalized content to enhance the viewer experience. Currently, global partners including Accenture, EF Education First, and Chain Vision Technology are integrating this blueprint into their development workflows.
