Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, solved the 3D graphic challenge for the personal computer in 1999 with the company’s release of the first-ever graphics processing unit (GPU).
Now the company's powerful chips are a driving force behind the acceleration of AI and advanced computing.
In this archive edition of the Dean's Speaker Series podcast, Huang talks about the ways that Nvidia is constantly inventing itself. “Creating something out of nothing is a skill that I think every company or startup needs to have,” he said. “The energy of looking for something new—a new way of doing something—is always there.”

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
