Jensen Huang

Jen-Hsun Huang (Chinese: 黃仁勳; Tâi-lô: N̂g Jîn-hun; pronounced approximately /ˈhwɑːŋ/ or as "Hwong" rhyming with "song" with a soft initial 'H' or 'W' sound in English), commonly anglicized as Jensen Huang (pronounced /ˈdʒɛnsən ˈhwɑːŋ/), is an American businessman and electricalengineerwho co-foundedNVIDIACorporation in 1993 and has served as its president and chief executive officer since its inception.[1][2]Under his leadership,NVIDIAhas become a global leader in graphics processing units (GPUs), accelerating advancements in gaming,artificial intelligence, andhigh-performance computing, with the company'smarket capitalizationexceeding $4 trillion by 2025, becoming the world's most valuable publicly traded company as of November 2025.[2][3][4]In 2025, Huang described compute as the new infrastructure, likening AI data centers to "AI factories" that apply energy to produce valuable tokens, similar to electricity or the internet. He emphasized three scaling laws driving AI progress: pretraining (more data, parameters, and compute predictably improve models), post-training (refining models via compute-intensive techniques such as reinforcement learning), and test-time compute (dynamic compute for real-time reasoning in advanced architectures), fueling exponential demand for NVIDIA's GPU platforms and envisioning an AI infrastructure industry worth trillions of dollars.[5][6]In October 2025 Huang announced $500 billion in high-confidence demand and purchase orders for NVIDIA's Blackwell and Rubin AI chips through the end of 2026.[7]At GTC 2026 he updated this projection to at least $1 trillion in demand for Blackwell and Vera Rubin platforms through 2027, with actual demand likely higher.[8][9]
