Nvidia CEO: AI Chip Supply Constraints Remain; Considering Robotics Investment in Korea

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang indicated that the high demand for artificial intelligence chips continues to outpace supply, even as the company works to secure more production. This persistent "chip shortage" underscores the rapid growth and intense demand in the AI market.

“

We are securing supply volumes (for AI chips) for very solid growth, but there are still supply constraints.

Huang addressed the recent controversy surrounding bonus payments at Samsung Electronics, stating his personal view that employees should receive as much compensation as possible. He noted that while he believes in maximizing employee rewards, he clarified this was his individual opinion and not a definitive statement on the matter.

Nvidia's financial filings reveal that the median total compensation for its employees in fiscal year 2026 was $282,050 (approximately 430 million Korean won). This figure is notably lower than the potential bonuses of over 600 million won that some Samsung Electronics employees in the memory division might receive this year, based on the company's projected operating profit.

Employees should receive as much compensation as possible.

During a meeting with Korean business leaders, Huang expressed Nvidia's ongoing consideration of investments in South Korea, particularly in the robotics sector. He believes robotics is crucial for Korea and hopes Nvidia can contribute to its advancement. Huang is scheduled to visit South Korea soon, where he will meet with executives from companies like SK Group and appear on the television show 'You Quiz on the Block.'

We are always considering investment in Korea. I believe robotics is very important for Korea, and I hope we can contribute to this field.
