Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns, casting doubt on the AI boom's future

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia, jeopardizing the future of the artificial intelligence boom he helped create. His departure removes the central figure behind the company's rise to a $4.19 trillion market valuation. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and transformed it from a video-game graphics card maker into the dominant designer of GPUs powering AI systems. Under his leadership, shares returned 759,500% since the 1999 IPO, fueled by advanced chips and creative financing deals across the supply chain. His trademark leather jackets and boundless energy made him the public face of the AI revolution. The company's future now faces uncertainty without the visionary who built its ecosystem from a Denny's diner meeting.
