Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, discussed the company's evolution from a GPU maker to a full-stack AI infrastructure provider, describing AI factories that convert electricity and data into intelligence. He highlighted Nvidia's frontier models, including Nemotron, Cosmos, BioNeMo, and GR00T, and introduced OpenShell as a secure runtime for deploying agents. Huang emphasized that every enterprise will become an AI company, with Salesforce as a partner. On safety, he argued it is an engineering problem, not a regulatory one, and that companies should pace releases until confident, rejecting the idea that innovation and safety are mutually exclusive. He urged companies to adopt AI, noting it improves rapidly, and set a vision to deploy Agentforce across all companies.

Key takeaways

  1. Safety is an engineering problem, not a regulatory one; companies should pause releases if unsure.
  2. Nvidia evolved from GPU to full-stack AI infrastructure, creating AI factories.
  3. OpenShell is the world's first secure sandbox and runtime for deploying agents safely.
  4. AI technology improves quickly; test again in a few weeks if initial results are 80% of expectations.

Great to have you, Jensen. We all have to learn how to walk and talk at the same time. How are you guys doing this?
Host 0:25 ↗
Jensen, we can do that. Let's walk and talk. I'll do the training myself, Jensen. It's an exciting thing. You have to take a left now.
Jensen Huang 0:36 ↗
All right.
Host 0:38 ↗
Jensen, congratulations on everything you are doing for the whole company. The GPU is a huge success. It's transformed everything. You're sitting next to David Kirk on our board who I think was at NVIDIA for a while.
Jensen Huang 0:55 ↗
That's right, love David Kirk.
Host 0:59 ↗
Give us your vision of the future? Where are we going? You have the critical components. You have the GPU and now you have the number one open source platform in the world. Companies like ours can fine tune. How do you think this can go ahead?
Jensen Huang 1:14 ↗
We can do this.
Host 1:15 ↗
You had to stop so you can think.
Jensen Huang 1:18 ↗
I can do this all day. And so first of all, as you know, we are going through an industrial revolution --
Host 1:30 ↗
We can even go down this aisle.
Jensen Huang 1:37 ↗
With the power we can have the internet --
Host 1:41 ↗
You have to look to the camera.
Jensen Huang 1:43 ↗
We can find anything and with artificial intelligence as an infrastructure layer we can know and do anything. So this layer -- you want to go this way.
Host 1:54 ↗
See, now you got it. Training has come to a complete.
Jensen Huang 1:59 ↗
This is good. And so now that's the first part. Now the work we do together and what we see is every company, every enterprise, every country would become an AI company. Everybody would be. You're an AI company. I'm an AI company. It's going to be an agentic enterprise. We said, listen, we took the GPU and evolved it into giant systems that are full stack AI companies. Just follow me.
Host 2:33 ↗
You've got this now. You've got this. Jensen, we're all following you, bro.
Jensen Huang 2:48 ↗
We got this. I got this. And so listen, so what happens is we evolved our company from a GPU to full stack AI infrastructure company. We built out giant systems that are essentially AI factories that turn electricity and the data that are stored in all the enterprises and turn it into intelligence.
Host 3:09 ↗
And I was just amazed at the way you were doing it. Did you read that? I don't think so. You guys were just doing it.
Jensen Huang 3:21 ↗
Anyways, we created this full stack AI factory and on top of it we said, listen, how can we turn every single enterprise into an agentic enterprise? First thing we did was create the frontier AI models. We lead five other frontiers and one for language.
