Huang emphasized the need for CIOs to embrace AI and urged a more optimistic view of its impact on the workforce during Gartner’s IT Symposium/XPO

Wearing his trademark black leather jacket, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Tuesday delivered a highly anticipated keynote at Gartner’s IT Symposium/Xpo where he talked about a range of leadership topics.

Nvidia has experienced meteoric success with its graphics processing units (GPUs). Once thought of mainly as a processor to handle graphics intense workloads, like video games, it turned out that the high-performance units were also efficient tools for large language models (LLMs). The near overnight success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT after launching two years ago has created an arms race for companies to build GenAI platforms. Nvidia has profited well from that race, launching it to the top of the world’s most valuable companies.

CIOs were eager to hear from Huang about finding similar success. Hundreds of attendees lined up more than an hour before the doors to Huang’s keynote started opening.

Huang sat for an interview with Daryl Plummer, a Gartner analyst and vice president.
