For over 30 years, NVIDIA has been quietly building the foundation of the AI era — with vision, innovation, and the long view, led by our CEO Jensen Huang. The Washington Post has a sharp look at how we got here.

Adam Lashinsky penned an insightful article about NVIDIA and how AI is the digital intelligence layer of the modern enterprise, city, and society. AI could become the great equalizer, capable of bridging centuries-old divides: between rich and poor, connected and disconnected, urban and rural. We now have the unique opportunity to bridge the digital divide, not just with internet connectivity, but with intelligence. Much of the global digital revolution has been built on the American tech stack — layers of open-source innovation, cloud infrastructure, silicon breakthroughs, and developer tooling. From foundational hardware to scalable AI models, the United States has created the technological environment upon which much of the modern world now builds. But this isn’t just about national pride — this is about global contribution. The American tech stack is a foundation designed to empower others. It enables developers, startups, and VCs everywhere to build the next generation of tools, products, and platforms. Built in America, but extensible to the world. That is American exceptionalism at its best — not exclusionary, but generative. Not zero-sum, but massively scalable. This is the great task of our generation: to embed into AI the ethics, diversity, and wisdom of our communities. We are not just training machines. We are shaping the “brains” that will advise leaders, teach our children, and build our businesses. There has never been a more consequential technology — or a greater responsibility. There’s perhaps no one who embodies this vision more than Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA — GPUs have become the heartbeat of the AI revolution. Born overseas, educated in the U.S., builder of one of America’s most valuable and impactful tech companies — Jensen represents the enduring power of the American Dream when combined with relentless execution and long-term vision. His story is not just personal inspiration — it’s also symbolic of the type of leadership we need to continue this journey: strategic, humble, deeply technical, and globally inclusive.

Cheering you on
This journey is proof that deep focus over time pays off.
Excellent consistency and focus - NVIDIA has set the methodology in which AI companies can work in order to drive long-term growth and innovation!
This is absolutely impressive!
Congratulations! 🙌
🚀 Exciting update
Well done!
Consistency, clear vision and high discipline are keys to long-term growth. Thanks to NVIDIA team for sharing this. And huge respect to Jensen Huang 💪🏻
This resonates deeply. Building software from Israel, we're living proof of the 'extensible to the world' vision. We don't manufacture chips like NVIDIA, but every app we develop, every system we architect - it all runs on this open infrastructure. Here's what fires me up: as developers, we're the ones who actually turn AI from raw potential into real impact. The divide between 'AI-powered' and 'AI-excluded' is growing fast. That's why we push our clients toward accessible, inclusive solutions. The tech stack may be American, but the responsibility to bridge divides? That's on all of us who build.
