For those that remember, the gold price was "surging" at that time at USD $3200 per ounce. It reached a high of USD $5,600 and is now current sitting at USD $4,600 per ounce.

AI and The NVIDIAs AI Revolution – Why This Story Is Much Bigger Than a Chip Company.
I started to look at the world in Artificial Intelligence (AI) seriously 12 months ago with a trip to the SuperAI Conference in Singapore in 2025, an event that I will be attending again this year on the 10th and 11th June 2026. As part of the AI revolution for the Samso Platform, I hunted for practitioners of the industry to get on a Coffee with Samso to just give us the "AI for Dummies" approach to start our journey into AI.
