TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Jensen Huang (黃仁勳), the CEO of NVIDIA (輝達), a leading artificial intelligence (AI) chip company, has become the center of attention during his visit to Taiwan, sparking a phenomenon dubbed "Jensanity," Reuters reported on Wednesday (June 5).
His activities, ranging from throwing the first pitch at a baseball game to dining at night markets and private kitchens, have been widely covered by local media, significantly boosting the business of the restaurants he visited.
Huang's presence at the 2024 Taipei COMPUTEX (台北國際電腦展) was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, as he was surrounded by crowds and became the subject of thousands of social media posts.
During the event, he engaged the audience with the question, "Who makes the best graphics cards?" to which the crowd enthusiastically responded, "NVIDIA!"
This interaction highlights NVIDIA's (輝達) critical role in the AI revolution, being the third-largest company in the U.S. by market value.
Huang's popularity, unprecedented even in Silicon Valley (矽谷), has been felt across Taiwan. His visit has not only been a boon for local businesses but has also inspired individuals across various professions.
A 38-year-old engineer expressed that Huang's work is inspirational and world-changing, while a woman in finance compared him to a pop superstar.
Huang, born in Tainan, Taiwan, and an immigrant to the U.S. at the age of 9, has actively engaged with both the tech elite and the general public during his visit, including taking selfies and signing autographs.
Huang's visit underscores his commitment to giving back to his homeland and thanking Taiwan partners like TSMC (台積電), Quanta Group (廣達), Foxconn (富士康), and Advantech (研華) for over three decades of support.
His actions and the warm reception he has received reflect the deep ties between Huang and Taiwan, as well as the global impact of his work in the tech industry.
