Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Eager to Meet President-Elect Trump, Discusses AI's Future Impact

Nvidia CEO would be "delighted" to meet president-elect Trump but hasn't been invited

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he would be "delighted" to visit president-elect Donald Trump and "do everything we can" to help his administration succeed. Huang was interviewed by Bloomberg following Nvidia's presentation at CES earlier this week, in which he discussed the company's AI technology and how AI will "reinvigorate" the gaming industry. However, he's yet to receive an invite from Trump to Mar-a-Lago. "I'd be delighted to go see him," said Huang, "and congratulate him and do everything we can to help this administration succeed." Huang is the latest tech boss to pay obeisance to Trump's regime, following Apple CEO Tim Cook, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who have all donated to Trump's inauguration fund. In all likelihood, Huang would have made similar comments had Kamala Harris won the presidency instead, considering he's CEO of not only one of the biggest tech companies in the US but - for a brief time last year - the most valuable company in the world. It's perhaps Huang's flattery of Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk that's pertinent. Huang described Musk as "very optimistic" about the future of AI and is working on "some of the most important AI areas". Tesla is in fact a customer of Nvidia, with its AI tech included in vehicles. AI has formed a major part of Nvidia's latest tech reveals, including its new GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. Indeed, Huang told Bloomberg: "At the limit, artificial intelligence is the single most important technology force of our time and we're at the beginning of that." Further, he specified AI will "reinvigorate" the video game industry. "On the one hand, for developers, it's going to reduce the cost of creating the content," he said. "On the other hand, all of the characters that are in the games are going to be smart characters in the future, so every time you interact with them they're going to be interacting with you in a much more intelligent way. "And so the games are going to be more interesting, characters are going to be more interesting, the content development cost is going to decline, and that's going to be really great for the industry. I think the future's really bright for video games and these virtual worlds, and artificial intelligence is going to reinvigorate it." Huang's comments on AI are a continuation of last year: "We can't do computer graphics anymore without artificial intelligence," he said at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology conference. Still, not everyone shares his view on AI. While Google works on new AI tools and EA's CEO stated AI is "the very core of our business", PlayStation boss Hermen Hulst was more tentative stating it won't replace the "human touch", and Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said the company would instead rely on "decades of know-how". Just this week, PUBG maker Krafton unveiled its new AI companions, while voice actor Jennifer Hale has discussed with Eurogamer the dangers of AI to performers and why it's holding up SAG-AFTRA strike negotiations.

Nvidia CEO Says He'd Be Delighted to Meet and Congratulate Trump

Nvidia Corp.'s Jensen Huang, the CEO at the center of the artificial intelligence boom, said he's ready to meet US President-elect Donald Trump and offer his help to the coming administration. "I'd be delighted to go see him and congratulate him, and do whatever we can to make this administration succeed," Huang said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. He hasn't been invited to visit Trump's home base at Mar-a-Lago in Florida yet, the chief executive officer said.

Jensen Huang Still Waiting for Mar-a-Lago Invite: Wants to 'Help' Trump Administration Succeed

Big Tech has been adjusting its policies in an attempt to align with the upcoming President's outlook. With less than two weeks to go until Donald Trump's inauguration, Big Tech leaders, including Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, have been meeting with the President-elect. Now, the world's largest chipmaker, Nvidia, is looking to gain the President's respect, who has promised to lift the guardrails on artificial intelligence development in the U.S. Jensen Huang Wants to Help Trump Nvidia boss Jensen Huang revealed to Bloomberg that he had not yet received an invitation to Trump's home base at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. "I'd be delighted to go see him and congratulate him, and do whatever we can to make this administration succeed," Huang said. "We will give them as much insight as we can from our perspective," he said. "I am sure the administration will make the right moves." he added. As the boss of the world's second-largest company, at the center of the current AI boom, Huang has yet to make acquaintance with the president-elect. OpenAI boss Sam Altman, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg have all attended the residence separately over the past few months. Nvidia's AI Future The future of Nvidia's AI outlook and the speed at which it achieves its goals depend heavily on the moves made by Trump's upcoming administration. Trump previously suggested he plans to implement a universal tariff on foreign imports, which could significantly affect companies like Nvidia that rely on international supply chains and markets. Nvidia's manufacturing heavily depends on overseas partners, particularly Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which produces its advanced GPUs. Imposing tariffs on imports from countries like Taiwan could increase production costs, potentially squeezing profit margins and affecting pricing strategies. However, as the boss of the world's leading chip manufacturer, Huang is a valuable asset to Trump's goal of making the U.S. a leading technology superpower. Big Tech Cozying Up to Trump In anticipation of Trump's administration, Big Tech has been adjusting its policies and strategies in an attempt to align with the President-elect's outlook. On Tuesday, Zuckerberg announced significant changes to Meta's content moderation practices. The company plans to end third-party fact-checking on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, replacing it with a Community Notes system inspired by Elon Musk's approach on X. Additionally, Meta said it would be lifting certain speech restrictions on topics such as immigration and gender, aiming to simplify policies and reduce perceived censorship. The Meta CEO even praised Musk's social media platform, noting that the company had seen community notes work on X: "where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context." This is a far cry from 2023 when the two billionaires discussed setting up a "cage match" with UFC's Dana White. With Musk now gaining a seat at the table of Trump's administration, it is clear that other tech giants are beginning to get fear of missing out. However, whether that FOMO from tech leaders will flourish into a four-year friendship with Trump's administration has yet to be seen.

The President-elect has previously indicated that he may introduce trade tariffs which could impact companies like Nvidia, which depends heavily on overseas sales and outsourced manufacturing. Nvidia is already subjected to restrictions that prevent some of its most powerful and profitable chips from being exported to China, the semiconductor industry's largest market. Huang has committed to providing as much insight as possible from Nvidia's perspective to assist the administration. He expressed confidence that the administration will make appropriate decisions.
