Only in America: My Conversation with Jensen Huang
In an interview for the 'Only in America' series, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sits down with Nvidia founding CEO Jensen Huang at Nvidia's new California campus. Huang recounts his journey from a nine-year-old immigrant sent from Thailand to a boarding school in Oneida, Kentucky, through Oregon State University and Stanford, to founding Nvidia on a business plan many considered impossible. He reflects on the chicken-and-egg problem of introducing a new computing architecture, the decades of grit before AI validated his vision, cautious optimism about artificial intelligence, and why he considers himself the embodiment of the American dream.
