In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump placed a call to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in the middle of a company-wide meeting, briefly interrupting the event, according to a report from Wired.
During the call, Huang emphasized that AI is now becoming a catalyst for an American industrial revolution, driving massive investment across:
· Chip fabrication plants (Fabs).
· Power generation facilities.
· Large-scale data centers.
· Advanced manufacturing sectors.
Huang cautioned that "builders must partner with communities," warning that the massive buildout requires public support and must deliver tangible local benefits to ensure long-term success, rather than just corporate profits.
Highlighting the unprecedented scale of growth, Huang pointed to a staggering $400 billion invested in AI startups in just six months, alongside a massive wave of private spending on AI infrastructure. These figures underscore AI's role as the primary engine driving the U.S. economy forward in the coming years.
