Jensen Huang founded accelerated computing company Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in 1993, and has served as the CEO and president ever since. Nvidia has achieved many breakthroughs under his leadership, but the invention of the graphics processing unit (GPU) in 1999 was particularly momentous.

AI agents are quickly becoming part of the workforce, and as NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang pointed out at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, this week, companies are going to have to figure out how best to work with them.

Shares of chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) have soared more than 2,400% in just the past five years. The stock has proven to be a growth machine due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the importance the company's chips play in next-gen technologies.

Shares of quantum-computing companies that skyrocketed in 2024 collapsed by double digits Wednesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said practical uses for quantum computing were more than a decade away.

D-Wave Quantum CEO Alan Baratz said Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is “dead wrong” about quantum computing after comments from the head of the chip giant spooked Wall Street on Wednesday.

The chip-making giant recently released a set of AI Blueprints, or agent models that can be integrated directly into a company’s software. In the future, Huang says these AI agents will work alongside employees helping them with everything from busy work to wrangling customer concerns.
