Jensen Huang is out at Nvidia

Jensen Huang steps down as chief executive of Nvidia. It’s a stunning fall for one of the most powerful figures in the AI ​​boom.

To make sense of it all, we’re joined by two reporters who covered The New York Times, Ana Swanson and Ryan Mac, along with Stephen Witt, author of Jensen Huang’s biography, “The Thinking Machine.”

We’ll discuss how we got here, the significance of Nvidia without the Jensens, and what happens next.
