1133 ET - Yum Brands' $1 billion partnership with Nvidia involves more than 40 artificial intelligence initiatives, the restaurant's CEO says in a quarterly earnings call. The restaurant operator is currently working with Nvidia to advance voice-automated technology in its drive-throughs and to optimize its back-of-house processes with real-time analytics. The parent company of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut said it was Nvidia's first AI restaurant partner in a March announcement. The company also says there's potential for AI to enable a more personalized experience for customers. "They recognize that in the restaurant space, there's nobody that's built the capability that we have," CEO David Gibbs says. (roshan.fernandez@wsj.com)
