Reflections of a Tech CEO: Innovation and Impact

Jensen Huang,  co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, solved the 3D graphic challenge for the personal computer in 1999 with the company’s release of the first-ever graphics processing unit (GPU).

Now the company's powerful chips are a driving force behind the acceleration of AI and advanced computing. 

In this archive edition of the Dean's Speaker Series podcast, Huang talks about the ways that Nvidia is constantly inventing itself. “Creating something out of nothing is a skill that I think every company or startup needs to have,” he said. “The energy of looking for something new—a new way of doing something—is always there.”
