Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Unveils AI Tech for Cars, Robots, and Games at CES

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang electrified CES with his AI vision. He showed a crowd in Las Vegas chips and software for robots, cars, and games that had everyone’s attention.

Late Monday night, Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, delivered a speech to a packed arena, promoting AI chips and software for robots, cars, video games, and more.

At the CES show in Las Vegas every year, Huang spoke about AI to a line of people that went on for hours. For years, Huang had been on the sidelines of CES, but this year, talk of computer chips was a big deal.

On stage, Jensen gave a one-man presentation. “As you witness numerous AI-driven applications, it becomes evident that machine learning has fundamentally transformed the future of computing.” “There are so many things you can’t do without AI.”

Jensen’s keynote speech happened the day before the CES show floor opened. That same day, Nvidia shares hit a new high, giving the Silicon Valley company a market value of more than $3.6 trillion.

Google, Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, and other companies have purchased Nvidia’s graphics unit processors (GPUs) to power AI in datacenters, aiming to be the first in their respective fields to do so.

Huang gave a long presentation in the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay resort. He showed off a GPU for improving AI on personal computers. In the early days of Nvidia, gamers were loyal to the company because of this GPU.

Nvidia said that its most advanced consumer GPUs were the new GeForce RTX 50 series for desktop and laptop computers, which is based on the Blackwell chip architecture.  “Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers, and creatives,” said Huang.

PC Makers to Launch AI-Enhanced RTX-Powered Systems

Nvidia reports that several companies, including Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Razer, and Samsung, will sell PCs with RTX chips that improve AI.

The presentation showcased a $1,299 AI PC. It was made with the $549 RTX chip, which is the base model for the new GPU lineup.  Jensen thought that AI PCs would have “agents” that were proficient at certain tasks or could help people.

Nvidia says that their AI technology will make it possible to make characters that think, plan, and act like real people. This will allow for faster renderings of complex game action.  Nvidia says that games like “PUBG: Battlegrounds” are adding these kinds of autonomous characters.

Huang also shared a family foundation model for openly working on “physical AI” that helps robots understand and do things in the real world.  Nvidia also grew its partnerships and technology for cars that can drive themselves. Toyota joined its list of partners.
