About this episode

Can AI revenues justify the spending? Jensen Huang breaks down the biggest bottlenecks heading into 2027, the path to the singularity, open vs. closed models, and why he’s 99.99% optimistic about the decade ahead. Jensen joins Brad Gerstner and Clark Tang for their third BG2 conversation, recorded days after the Xi State Dinner, the White House Accord on superintelligence, and his receipt of the National Medal of Science. They explore why building technology responsibly also means moving fast, how power constraints could shape AI’s next phase, and whether SpaceX could help put data centers in orbit. Jensen also explains why NVIDIA sees demand extending far beyond just two AI labs.
