Abstract

How long will the rapid advance of the world's most powerful AI company, which has achieved the highest market capitalization, continue? Is there a blind spot in NVIDIA's unrivaled market-shaping dominance? The author, the first Japanese journalist to successfully conduct an in-depth interview, also interviews the company's top executives. What is the true nature of NVIDIA, a company full of secrets that only a Silicon Valley resident can paint? Over 80% of the market share in AI semiconductors. Ranked second in the US in the "Best Workplaces" ranking. Average annual salary for engineers is over 40 million yen. Market capitalization is approximately $3 trillion. Operating profit margin is over 60%. Stock price has increased more than 100 times in 10 years. This book unravels the true nature of that strength from both the management and technology perspectives. This book thoroughly explains the lightning-fast management of an ultra-flat company of 30,000 people, the technology that has built a stronghold in both software and hardware, and the "opportunities for Japanese companies" that can be seen from this! "A completely new opportunity is coming to Japan" -- NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang
