Jensen Huang is out as chief executive of Nvidia. It’s a stunning fall for one the most powerful figures of the A.I. boom.
To make sense of it all, we’re joined by two of the reporters who’ve been leading the coverage for The New York Times, Ana Swanson and Ryan Mac, alongside Stephen Witt, the author of the Jensen Huang biography “The Thinking Machine.”
We’ll discuss how we got here, the significance of a Jensen-less Nvidia and what happens next.
