TAIPEI (TVBS News) — NVIDIA (輝達), the Silicon Valley chip giant, is positioning itself to capture a multitrillion-dollar opportunity in artificial intelligence and robotics, its chief executive Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) told shareholders on Wednesday (June 25). Speaking at the company's annual meeting, Huang painted an ambitious vision where NVIDIA's technology would power "billions of robots, hundreds of millions of autonomous vehicles, and thousands of robotic factories" across the global economy.
The Taiwanese-American executive emphasized that NVIDIA is undergoing a fundamental transformation from a traditional semiconductor manufacturer into a comprehensive provider of AI infrastructure and computing platforms. The company is channeling significant resources into developing advanced data center AI chips specifically designed for training sophisticated software models. This strategic pivot reflects NVIDIA's determination to position itself as a dominant force in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence ecosystem, rather than merely supplying components for others' innovations.
The company's recent introduction of the NVIDIA GR00T AI model series represents a milestone in humanoid robotics development, creating sophisticated intelligence systems that can power the next generation of autonomous machines. NVIDIA has forged strategic partnerships with multiple robotics manufacturers, demonstrating the practical applications and commercial viability of its innovations. Industry analysts view this aggressive push into robotics as evidence of NVIDIA's commitment to dominating not just the computational infrastructure of artificial intelligence but also its practical implementation in physical systems that could transform manufacturing, healthcare, and consumer services.
Huang further highlighted how the company's NVIDIA DRIVE platform is catalyzing a fundamental shift in the automotive industry toward software-defined vehicles (SDV), where a car's capabilities are determined more by its code than its mechanical components. The platform delivers the extraordinary computational power required to process the vast data streams necessary for safe autonomous driving in complex environments. Already deployed in commercial taxis and freight trucks in several markets, the technology represents NVIDIA's expanding footprint beyond traditional computing into transportation infrastructure. ◼
