Inside Nvidia: The company powering the AI gold rush

About this episode

The episode discusses Nvidia's impact on the tech industry and its role in the AI gold rush.

Do Nvidia’s latest results confirm a tech boom or signal the makings of a bubble? Danny Fortson and Katie Prescott ask how a once-niche graphics chipmaker ended up at the centre of global tech, geopolitics and the stock market. Author Stephen Witt joins them to explain Jensen Huang’s rise and the company’s extraordinary dominance.
