Nvidia's sparkle fades without its Midas king: this is the tortuous path ahead for the AI key company
The departure of Jensen Huang, embroiled in a scandal of infidelities and alleged espionage, opens an uncertain future at the chip manufacturer and will have consequences throughout the artificial intelligence industry.
Nvidia, founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang and two other engineers, has seen a significant change in fortunes since 2015. The company's graphics chips became crucial in the development of artificial intelligence, leading to rapid growth, with revenues projected to reach $400 billion this year, up from $27 billion four years ago. However, Jensen Huang's leadership is now under scrutiny, with Nvidia's board hiring a headhunter to find a possible replacement.
Potential candidates mentioned include Lisa Su of Advance Micro Devices, Rene Hass of Arm Holdings, and Sanjay Mehrotra of Micron Technology, with even Donald Trump suggesting Tim Cook, the former CEO of Apple, as a suitable candidate.
