Jensen Huang on Meet The Leader
Davos 2026: Conversation with Jensen Huang, President and CEO of NVIDIA
Most of the AI-platform, infrastructure, and jobs case substantially repeats Huang’s broader corpus. The pension-fund pitch and unusually candid Mercedes story add enough novelty to justify the highlights, but not necessarily the full episode.
Thank you. I appreciate that. My only regret was at the ipo. After the ipo, I wanted to buy my parents something nice. And so I sold Nvidia stock at a valuation of $300 million. The company was at a valuation of $300 million. And I bought them a Mercedes S Class. It is the most expensive car in the world. They regret it. Do they still have it? Oh, sure, yeah, they still have it. Yeah.
Jensen Huang frames AI as a foundational infrastructure buildout spanning energy, chips, cloud services, models, and applications. He is optimistic that AI can expand opportunity through new infrastructure jobs, wider access to computing, and investment in emerging applications and industries.
