At the recent NVIDIA GTC keynote, CEO Jensen Huang introduced the concept of 'AI Factories,' which are specialized data centers designed to generate AI tokens, marking a shift from general-purpose computing to accelerated computing. This development is seen as a potential catalyst for a new supercycle in the tech industry. Gavin Baker, CIO and Managing Partner at Atreides Management, discussed NVIDIA's evolution from a gaming-focused company to a leader in AI technology. The backdrop of these advancements includes ongoing concerns about trade tensions, particularly related to tariffs proposed by former President Donald Trump, which have created uncertainty in the market and impacted growth stocks significantly, with some down by 50-70%. Despite these challenges, experts believe in the resilience of sectors like AI, electric vehicles, and online payments, suggesting that the current market conditions present a buying opportunity.
