Jensen Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993 and turned its GPUs into the default engine of modern AI. We track him less for the hardware specifics than for the agenda his keynotes set: when Huang says the “age of agents” has arrived and starts talking about physical AI, the rest of the industry — and the prices small teams pay to rent compute — tend to follow.

Jensen Huang
Builds the compute the whole AI era runs on. His GTC keynotes set the industry's agenda — and in 2026 that agenda is the 'age of agents' and physical AI.
What They're Saying Now
Agentic AI has arrived ↗
At GTC 2026 Huang declared the 'age of agents' — AI that doesn't just answer questions but observes, reasons, plans and acts across distributed infrastructure, with operational work shifting from people to agents.
From generative to agentic to physical AI ↗
He frames the next step as extending agents out of the datacentre into the real world — robotaxis and robotics — positioning NVIDIA's platforms as the substrate for both digital and physical agents.
