NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Unveils Future of Accelerated Computing and AI at GTC DC Keynote

In a landmark keynote at the NVIDIA GTC event in Washington, D.C., CEO Jensen Huang outlined the next phase for AI, accelerated computing, and quantum technology. Highlighting America’s role in global innovation, Huang reviewed pivotal shifts such as the evolution from CPU- to GPU-centric computing, and celebrated breakthroughs that position the U.S. at the forefront of AI leadership.

A major focus was the announcement of NVQLink, a novel interconnect that directly connects quantum processors to NVIDIA GPUs, promising scalable quantum error correction and hybrid quantum-classical supercomputing. Huang also shared details on new partnerships—including a collaboration with Nokia to build AI-native 6G infrastructure—and revealed that the U.S. Department of Energy is partnering with NVIDIA to develop seven new AI supercomputers for advancing scientific research.

Key segments covered included:

• The rise and necessity of accelerated computing and custom CUDA-X libraries across industries

• Quantum computing advances, error correction, and the critical fusion of quantum and GPU power for the next generation of research

• The AI “factory” model for future data centers dedicated to producing high-value tokens at unprecedented scale and speed

• Industry-wide implications: from telecommunications to national labs, robotics, and autonomous vehicles

Huang emphasized the United States’ unique opportunity for technological leadership, underlining that collaborations and ecosystem support are driving a new era of reindustrialization and scientific progress.
