Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had one chance to make a first impression on X. Rather than celebrating Nvidia’s dominance in artificial intelligence (AI) or thanking shareholders after the company’s historic run, Huang used his debut post to wade into one of the industry’s most divisive debates: Whether America’s AI future should be open.
Huang’s first post on X, published on July 24, shared an open letter signed by Nvidia and more than two dozen technology companies — including Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), IBM (IBM), Palantir (PLTR), Hugging Face, and Andreessen Horowitz — calling on U.S. policymakers to support open-weight AI models instead of placing broad restrictions on them.
