But Nvidia’s fortunes shifted dramatically in late 2022, when OpenAI released ChatGPT, opening up the concept of generative AI to the broader public.

OpenAI does a large shares of its simulated intelligence improvement on Nvidia GPUs. As other organizations like Microsoft, Google, and Meta reinforced their interests in man-made intelligence innovative work, they required billions of dollars worth of the most recent artificial intelligence chips to work out their models.

Huang has been the face of Nvidia and its principal salesperson, constantly extolling the potential and power of using the company’s GPUs for building AI.

Nvidia, which has been developing AI software and tools for more than a decade, ended up in prime position to become the top supplier to the biggest technology companies. The company now has about 80% of the market for AI chips, and Huang is among the 20 richest people in the world.
