Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang, has been on an energetic world tour as the company's share price has soared. Nvidia insists it isn't Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith The chipmaker's sprawling partnerships are driving extraordinary growth but also bank its future on the AI boom paying off quickly N vidia is, in crucial ways, nothing like Enron - the Houston energy giant that imploded through multibillion-dollar accounting fraud in 2001. Nor is it similar to companies such as Lucent or Worldcom that folded during the dotcom bubble. But the fact that it needs to reiterate this to its investors is less than ideal. Now worth more than $4tn (£3tn), Nvidia makes the specialised technology that powers the world's AI surge: silicon chips and software packages that train and host systems such as ChatGPT.

W hen the billionaire chief executive of AI chipmaker Nvidia threw a party in central London for Donald Trump's state visit in September, the power imbalance between Silicon Valley and British politicians was vividly exposed. Jensen Huang hastened to the stage after meetings at Chequers and rallied his hundreds of guests to cheer on the power of AI. In front of a huge Nvidia logo, he urged the venture capitalists before him to herald "a new industrial revolution", announced billions of pounds in AI investments and, like Willy Wonka handing out golden tickets, singled out some lucky recipients in the room. "If you want to get rich, this is where you want to be," he declared. But his biggest party trick was a surprise guest waiting in the wings.

AI proponent Huang appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience, run by AI disciple Joe Rogan, on Wednesday night, and the two got on like gangbusters, not surprisingly. Huang jumped in early to describe how well AI has improved -- not the least by using his company's GPUs. "In the last several years, I would say AI technology has increased, probably in the last two years alone, maybe 100X -- let's just give it a number," Huang said on the podcast .

There Is Only One AI Company. As Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft forge partnerships and deals, the AI industry is looking more like one interconnected machine. What does that mean for all of us? It all began, as many things do, with Elon Musk . In the early 2010s he realized that AI was on a track to become perhaps the most powerful technology of all time.

'We excel at every phase of AI': Nvidia CEO quells Wall Street fears of AI bubble amid market selloff Global share markets rose after Nvidia posted third-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street estimates, assuaging for now concerns about whether the high-flying valuations of AI firms had peaked. On Wednesday, all eyes were on Nvidia, the bellwether for the AI industry and the most valuable publicly traded company in the world, with analysts and investors hoping the chipmaker's third-quarter earnings would dampen fears that a bubble was forming in the sector. Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, opened the earnings call with an attempt to dispel those concerns, saying that there was a major transformation happening in AI, and Nvidia was foundational to that transformation. "There's been a lot of talk about an AI bubble," said Huang. "From our vantage point, we see something very different. As a reminder, Nvidia is unlike any other accelerator. We excel at every phase of AI from pre-training to post-training to inference."

Jensen Huang, the head of the world's most valuable company Nvidia, says King Charles III personally handed him a copy of a speech he delivered in 2023 that included a warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence. He said, there's something I want to talk to you about. And he handed me a letter, Huang told the BBC, speaking after receiving the 2025 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering in a ceremony at St James's Palace. The letter was a copy of the speech delivered by the King in 2023 at the world's first AI Summit, held at Bletchley Park . In it the monarch said that the risks of AI needed to be tackled with a sense of urgency, unity and collective strength.

Nvidia is worth $5 trillion. Here's what it means for the market Jensen Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia, poses for a photo on the sidelines of the APEC CEO Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, on Friday. Nvidia made history last week when it became the first company ever to have a market value of $5 trillion. The chipmaker at the heart of the artificial intelligence revolution is not only by far the biggest company on the planet, it also may be the most influential stock in Wall Street history. Nvidia has been the primary driver of the market's gains since the start of 2023, delivering massive returns to shareholders and minting billions for Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang. This is obviously a massive outlier from a historical perspective, really something to behold for the ages," said Matt Miskin, co-chief investment strategist at Manulife John Hancock Investments.

How China is challenging Nvidia's AI chip dominance The US has dominated the global technology market for decades. But China wants to change that. The world's second largest economy is pouring huge amounts of money into artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. Crucially, Beijing is also investing heavily to produce the high-end chips that power these cutting-edge technologies. Last month, Jensen Huang - the boss of the global AI chip industry leader, Nvidia - warned that China was just nanoseconds behind the US in chip development.

US tech giant Nvidia will invest up to $100bn (£73bn) in OpenAI, the firm behind ChatGPT, the companies announced. Nvidia said it will supply high-performance chips needed for the processing power required by artificial intelligence (AI), of which OpenAI is a specialist. Described as a strategic partnership by Nvidia, it is the latest move by two high profile tech firms in the global AI race, where China is an emerging rival. The announcement comes after a series of high-profile investments by Nvidia, including a $5bn investment in Intel and a £2bn investment in the UK's AI sector. Nvidia said its latest investment will go towards growing data centres for OpenAI's next-generation AI infrastructure.

Nvidia to invest $5bn in Intel after Trump administration's 10% stake Nvidia, the world's leading chipmaker, has announced plans to invest $5bn in Intel and collaborate with the struggling semiconductor company on products. A month after the Trump administration confirmed it had taken a 10% stake in Intel - the latest extraordinary intervention by the White House in corporate America - Nvidia said it would team up with the firm to work on custom datacenters that form the backbone of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, as well as personal computer products. Intel shares jumped nearly 23% after markets closed, making it the largest one-day percentage gain for the company since 1987.
