CEO Jensen Huang took to the stage at Nvidia’s GTC conference this week wearing a custom leather jacket and delivered a two-and-a-half-hour keynote speech in which he predicted AI chip sales would reach $1 trillion by 2027, declared that every company needs an “OpenClaw strategy,” and ended with a rampaging Olaf robot who had to cut off his microphone. This message was impossible to miss. Nvidia wants to be the foundation for everything from AI training to self-driving cars to Disney parks.
