Jensen Huang explains how NVIDIA survived near-collapse by betting on GPUs, CUDA, and then AI to become the world's most valuable company.

●	CUDA was carried by GeForce for years, even when demand was weak, to build a future developer ecosystem.

●	When the NV1 failed, Huang cut staff, renegotiated Sega’s contract, and used an emulator to save the company.

●	He argues AI expands jobs and productivity, and says fear-driven narratives can slow innovation.
