Jensen Huang's Absence At The India AI Impact Summit
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's absence at the India AI Impact Summit has sparked curiosity, but the company's managing director for South Asia, Vishal Dhupar, has shed light on the reason behind it. Huang was reportedly unwell after weeks of extensive travel and has deputed Jay Puri to lead the company delegation at the event.
Dhupar mentioned that people everywhere were asking about Huang, saying, "Aren't we all missing Jensen? Everywhere I am going, everyone is asking about Jensen." He explained that Huang travelled for three straight weeks and caught a bug, adding, "We hope he is well soon, but we are delighted that we have Jay Puri leading a delegation to come here in India and celebrate this very important week".
The NDTV Ind.AI Summit convenes policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and thinkers to collaboratively define an AI future grounded in human values and ethical responsibility. The summit also features former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and OpenAI's VP of Global Affairs, Chris Lehane.
