Chipmaker NVIDIA Corp.’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO, Jensen Huang, announced an optimistic vision for the future of artificial intelligence during the company’s second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.
‘A New Industrial Revolution’
During the call, Huang framed AI as “a new industrial revolution,” highlighting its transformative impact on the global economy.
This revolution, he says, comes with a surge in computing demand, with “reasoning, agentic AI models” requiring “100 times, a thousand times, and potentially even more,” in computing resources relative to the “one-shot” chatbots that only generated answers based on prompts.

“Where chatbots used to be one-shot, you give it a prompt, and it would generate the answer. Now the AI does research. It thinks and does a plan,” he says.
He says this demand can lead to a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity for Nvidia and its products. “Over the next five years, we're gonna scale into with Blackwell, with Rubin, and follow-ons to scale into effectively a $3 to $4 trillion AI infrastructure opportunity.”
He also noted that the top four hyperscalers have already doubled their capital expenditures to $600 billion annually, and NVIDIA's share of gigawatt-scale AI factories is about 35%.
Dimisses Competitive Pressures
Huang dismissed concerns of competition from custom AI chips, saying that GPUs will not be displaced in the stack, while emphasizing Nvidia’s full-stack solutions, with dominance across compute, software, and networking layers. “We're, you know, really a holistic full-stack solution for AI factories.”
Huang concluded the call saying that the opportunity ahead is “immense,” as the “AI race is on,” with this new revolution just getting started.
Nvidia released its second-quarter results on Wednesday, reporting $46.74 billion in revenue, up 56% year-over-year, and ahead of consensus estimates of $46.02 billion. The company posted $1.05 per share in earnings, once again beating Street estimates at $1.01.
