Key Takeaways

  • Nvidia is currently the second most valuable company in the world in market capitalization.
  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Tuesday that business leaders must become AI-first and elaborated on how Nvidia uses AI internally.
  • Huang also addressed the possibility of AI replacing human work at a separate event.

Jensen Huang is the CEO of Nvidia, the second most valuable company in the world, with a market capitalization of $3.42 trillion. On Tuesday, at Gartner's IT Symposium in Orlando, Florida, Huang encouraged business executives to prioritize AI and used Nvidia as an example of how it can be done.

Huang said Nvidia uses AI to design chips, create software, and improve its supply chain. These three areas "move the needle most profoundly," he said, per the Wall Street Journal.

Meanwhile, he encouraged his fellow CEOs to incorporate AI into their organizations to be ready for the "new industrial revolution."

AI can't replace human beings and has "no possibility of doing what we do," Huang said. However, he cautioned that people who know how to use AI are more likely to take your job than AI itself.

Huang's stance aligns with Scott Galloway, a serial entrepreneur and NYU Stern professor who recently said that AI may not take your job, but those who know how to use it might.
