A joke that might go too far.

In a recent interview Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, said he was going to become a robot to run the company for decades to come. His answer regarding the term of office sounded literally like this:

I don't know exactly how long my reign will last, but I would say 30 to 40 years. In another four decades, I will become a robot, and I will remain in this position for another 30-40 years. I hope I enjoy this for a very long time.

This joke from the head of an AI-based technology company sounds pretty funny, but a little unsettling. Especially given the fact that neither he nor the interviewer were laughing.

Jensen Huang is the world's oldest technology sector CEO. He founded NVIDIA in 1993 and has been its CEO for 30 years. Now he is 60.

This isn't the first time Huang has toyed with the idea of an artificial clone of himself. In 2021, NVIDIA announced a new series of GPUs, and the CEO held a presentation right in his kitchen. But the company later revealed that it was a virtual CEO.

“To create a virtual Jensen, the team performed full face and body scans to create a 3D model, and then trained the AI to imitate its gestures and expressions by using some AI magic to clone it realistic," wrote then NVIDIA in his blog.

Similarly, not so long ago, Elon Musk joked, declaredthat has already digitized his brain
