Huang is now richer than LVMH’s Bernard Arnault ($147.9 billion) and just behind Google co-founder Larry Page ($150.6 billion).

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivered a rare Mandarin-language keynote at the China International Supply Chain Expo on July 16, appearing in traditional Chinese attire. His presence underscored Nvidia's growing engagement with China's fast-evolving AI landscape.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI won't erase jobs but will transform how we work — starting with how we think and ask questions.

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang held a lengthy interview with over 30 Chinese media outlets in Beijing, addressing issues ranging from the recent resumption of H20 chip sales in China to Huawei's standing in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Huang’s comments stand in stark contrast to those of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who said AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white collar jobs and spike unemployment by double digits over the next five years. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has also warned AI will reduce the company’s total corporate workforce.

The approvals mark a major reversal after April’s sweeping restrictions, imposed by the Trump administration, barred companies from selling certain advanced semiconductors to China. Those rules left Nvidia facing a $4.5 billion inventory write-down, as it had no alternative buyers for its H20 chips.

Nvidia stock is jumping today following announcements that the Trump administration will allow the company's H20 processor and other hardware to be sold in China. The approval of the export licenses for the company's AI hardware is an unexpected development -- and a big win for CEO Jensen Huang.
