CEO’s Vision
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO, highlighted the transformative impact of AI on industries worldwide. “The next industrial revolution has begun — companies and countries are partnering with NVIDIA to shift the trillion-dollar traditional data centers to accelerated computing and build a new type of data center — AI factories — to produce a new commodity: artificial intelligence,” he said. Huang emphasized that AI will enhance productivity across industries, making companies more cost- and energy-efficient while expanding revenue opportunities.
