In a wide-ranging interview, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang shared his insights on the past, present, and future of computing, emphasizing the transformative power of AI and robotics. Huang, whose company has become one of the most valuable in the world, discussed how NVIDIA’s innovations—from GPUs to AI platforms—are reshaping industries and everyday life.

From Gaming to AI: The Evolution of Computing

Huang traced NVIDIA’s journey from revolutionizing gaming graphics with GPUs to enabling breakthroughs in AI. The company’s early bet on parallel processing—allowing computers to solve multiple problems simultaneously—laid the foundation for today’s AI boom.

A pivotal moment came in 2012 with AlexNet, an AI model that demonstrated the potential of deep learning when trained on NVIDIA GPUs. This breakthrough convinced Huang that AI could reshape computing, leading NVIDIA to invest billions in AI infrastructure, including its CUDA platform, which made GPU-powered AI accessible to researchers.

The Future: AI, Robotics, and Digital Biology

Huang predicts that everything that moves will be robotic—from self-driving cars to humanoid assistants—and that AI will soon permeate every industry. Key areas of focus include:

  • Robotics: Training robots in simulated worlds (via NVIDIA’s Omniverse and Cosmos) to accelerate learning without real-world risks.
  • Digital Biology: Using AI to decode molecular and cellular behavior, potentially leading to breakthroughs in medicine.
  • Climate Science: Improving high-resolution weather and climate modeling to better predict environmental changes.

Challenges and Optimism

While acknowledging concerns like AI bias and safety, Huang remains optimistic, comparing AI’s potential to past technological leaps like highways and personal computers. He advises everyone—students, professionals, and researchers—to learn how to use AI as a tool to enhance their work.

Legacy: A Company That Redefined Computing

Huang hopes NVIDIA will be remembered as a company that made an extraordinary impact, transforming fields from gaming to healthcare. “We’re at the epicenter of a revolution,” he said, “and it’s just the beginning.”

As AI continues to evolve, Huang’s vision suggests a future where intelligent systems empower humanity, making once-impossible advancements a reality.
