In this episode of the NVIDIA AI Podcast, host Noah Kravitz interviews Sarah Laszlo, Senior Director of Visa's Machine Learning Platform, about how Visa is leveraging AI, particularly generative AI, to transform payment experiences. They discuss Visa's focus on preventing fraud, enhancing personalization for cardholders with better recommendations, and exploring agentic commerce, where AI agents can make purchases on behalf of users. Laszlo highlights the unique challenges Visa faces due to being a slow adopter of cloud technology, forcing them to optimize GPU usage in their own data center. She also shares best practices, such as using virtual GPUs and the importance of collaboration between governance and tech teams, and touches on a use case where GPT-4 was used to convert an old code base into Python, saving the company millions of dollars.
