00:00 - 00:07

He's the founder, CEO, and president of

00:03 - 00:09

Nvidia. Jensen Wong, he's producing up

00:07 - 00:11

to 500 billion over the next four years

00:09 - 00:14

to manufacture the most powerful AI

00:11 - 00:16

chips entirely in the USA for the first

00:14 - 00:20

time ever. Uh, Jensen, would you come up

00:16 - 00:25

and say a few words? This is a smart

00:20 - 00:27

cookie. Thank you. Thank you, sir.

00:25 - 00:31

Thank you, Mr. President. It's a great

00:27 - 00:33

honor to be here. uh Nvidia reinvented

00:31 - 00:37

computing for the first time after 60

00:33 - 00:39

years. In fact, at IBM knows quite well

00:37 - 00:43

that the computer has largely been the

00:39 - 00:46

same since the 60s. The IBM system 360

00:43 - 00:48

described really quite perfectly the

00:46 - 00:50

computer that we use today. central

00:48 - 00:53

processing units, operating systems, the

00:50 - 00:55

separation of hardware and software, IO

00:53 - 00:57

subsystems, multitasking, all of the

00:55 - 01:00

words that we use to describe computers

00:57 - 01:02

today were really invented in 1964, the

01:00 - 01:04

year after my birth. Well, after all

01:02 - 01:06

this time, we've reinvented computers

01:04 - 01:08

again. This is what a a processor looks

01:06 - 01:11

like. It's on the right right there.

01:08 - 01:15

People say it's a GPU. that GPU that's

01:11 - 01:20

one GPU unit and it's uh 70 pounds

01:15 - 01:22

60,000 parts uh 10,000 watts uh in order

01:20 - 01:24

to manufacture it requires probably a

01:22 - 01:28

couple of hundred companies in the

01:24 - 01:30

supply chain. It is so heavy uh that it

01:28 - 01:33

requires robotics to do it's so precise

01:30 - 01:35

and in just to test a supercomput

01:33 - 01:38

requires a

01:35 - 01:39

supercomputer and we're going to build

01:38 - 01:41

uh Nvidia's technology the next

01:39 - 01:44

generation of that uh all here in the

01:41 - 01:47

United States without without the

01:44 - 01:49

president's leadership his

01:47 - 01:53

policies his

01:49 - 01:56

support and very importantly his strong

01:53 - 01:59

encouragement and I mean been a strong

01:56 - 02:01

encouragement. I frankly frankly uh

01:59 - 02:04

manufacturing United States uh wouldn't

02:01 - 02:06

have accelerated to this pace. Uh

02:04 - 02:08

manufacturing manufacturing isn't about

02:06 - 02:11

lowcost labor anymore. Manufacturing is

02:08 - 02:14

about technology and most of the

02:11 - 02:16

factories that uh build these systems

02:14 - 02:18

today are the most advanced factories in

02:16 - 02:20

the future. And we're going to use

02:18 - 02:22

artificial intelligence and robotics and

02:20 - 02:24

Omniverse digital twin technology to

02:22 - 02:26

make it possible for us to create the

02:24 - 02:27

factories of the future. And we ought to

02:26 - 02:30

build it. We ought to build it right

02:27 - 02:33

here. The the really the the really

02:30 - 02:36

amazing thing is that this computer is

02:33 - 02:38

the engine of a whole new industry. And

02:36 - 02:40

this new industry is called artificial

02:38 - 02:43

intelligence. And this new industry is a

02:40 - 02:47

manufacturing industry in itself. That's

02:43 - 02:49

a factory machine. Just as several

02:47 - 02:51

hundred years ago, the dynamo was

02:49 - 02:53

invented, uh, water would come in and

02:51 - 02:55

electricity would come out. Now,

02:53 - 02:58

electricity goes into this machine and

02:55 - 03:00

incredible tokens come out, artificial

02:58 - 03:02

intelligence. In order for this industry

03:00 - 03:04

to thrive, we need to build these

03:02 - 03:08

systems, of course, but we also need a

03:04 - 03:11

progressive growth and industry oriented

03:08 - 03:13

energy policy, which this president has

03:11 - 03:16

really put his weight behind. I really

03:13 - 03:18

appreciate that. Without energy, we

03:16 - 03:20

can't possibly have new growth

03:18 - 03:22

industries. And we now have the backing

03:20 - 03:25

of the administration, the backing of

03:22 - 03:27

President Trump um to support uh the

03:25 - 03:29

creation of a whole new industry. This

03:27 - 03:31

industry is going to enable a whole

03:29 - 03:33

bunch of other industries. What we now

03:31 - 03:34

call the AI infrastructure is going to

03:33 - 03:38

revolutionize every industry that we

03:34 - 03:40

know. All of the the many CEOs in the

03:38 - 03:42

room today are are great partners of

03:40 - 03:44

ours for that reason. Uh we're working

03:42 - 03:45

on artificial intelligence for many

03:44 - 03:48

industries from healthcare to drug

03:45 - 03:50

discovery to life to well life sciences,

03:48 - 03:52

financial services, education, so many

03:50 - 03:54

different industries. And that's going

03:52 - 03:55

to be possible because we have the

03:54 - 03:57

fundamental infrastructure here in the

03:55 - 03:58

United States. And so I want to thank

03:57 - 04:01

you sir for everything that you've done

03:58 - 04:03

and the strong encouragement and the

04:01 - 04:05

great policies that make it possible for

04:03 - 04:13

us. Thank you sir.

04:05 - 04:13
