At Nvidia's GTC 2026 conference, CEO Jensen Huang forecast $1 trillion in orders for the company's Blackwell and Vera Rubin chips through 2027, positioning artificial intelligence as an inflection point that will reshape the workforce through AI agents and an "AI factory" model. Huang introduced a controversial compensation strategy offering engineers AI tokens worth up to half their salary, arguing that $1 trillion in demand may prove insufficient. The CEO also announced chip sales to China would resume and declared that AGI has been achieved. While Huang avoided backlash despite the massive revenue projections, Wall Street remained unmoved by the conference announcements.
