Jensen Huang saw the AI revolution coming earlier than anyone else. Nevertheless, he fell deeply.

Jensen Huang, founder and long-time CEO of chipmaker Nvidia, has announced his immediate resignation. He had been at the helm of the company since its founding in 1993 and had become a celebrated technology entrepreneur thanks to the AI boom.
