Jensen Huang Declares the Age of "Agentic AI" at CES 2025 – A Multi-Trillion-Dollar Shift in Work and Industry

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 kicked off with a bang as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took the stage to unveil the company's latest innovations. 

Sporting a flashy jacket he joked was perfect for Vegas, Huang took the audience through Nvidia's past, present and ambitious plans for the future. The spotlight? The rise of Agentic AI.

"The age of AI Agentics is here," Huang announced, describing a new wave of artificial intelligence. Unlike generative AI, which creates content and tools, Agentic AI revolves around intelligent agents capable of assisting with tasks across industries.

Huang called this shift a "multi-trillion-dollar opportunity," painting a bold picture of AI-driven workflows in medicine, human resources and software engineering. "AI agents are the new digital workforce," he said, predicting a future where every company's IT department will effectively become HR for AI agents.

The keynote wasn't all talk. Huang revealed Nvidia's latest GPU lineup, the RTX Blackwell series, which he described as a game-changer. 

The GeForce RTX 5070 leads the pack, offering the same performance as the previous generation's flagship RTX 4090 but at a jaw-dropping $549 – far below the 4090's $1,599 price tag. "This is impossible without artificial intelligence," Huang explained, crediting AI-driven engineering for the efficiency boost.

Other models include the RTX 5070 Ti, which costs $749, the midrange RTX 5080, which costs $999 and the flagship RTX 5090, which costs $1,999. With features like RTX Neural Shaders for lifelike rendering and DLSS 4 upscaling technology, these GPUs are designed to handle everything from gaming to complex AI workloads.

In a demonstration, DLSS 4 rendered a scene at 238 frames per second, over eight times faster than traditional methods, all while keeping latency to just 34 milliseconds.

Nvidia didn't stop there. Huang unveiled Project Digits, a personal AI supercomputer powered by the Grace Blackwell Superchip. It promises a petaflop of computing power, bringing supercomputing capabilities to AI researchers, students and developers right at their desks. Priced starting at $3,000, Project Digits is scheduled for release in May 2025.

"AI will be mainstream in every application for every industry," Huang said, describing Project Digits as a tool to empower millions to innovate in the age of AI.

Autonomous machines were also a key highlight. Huang introduced "Cosmos," a foundation model designed to accelerate training for AI systems in robotics and autonomous vehicles. Toyota will integrate Nvidia’s Orin chips and DriveOS operating system into its next-generation autonomous vehicles to improve their advanced driver assistance systems. 

Huang boldly predicted that "a trillion miles driven each year will soon be either highly or fully autonomous," calling it the first "multi-trillion-dollar robotics industry."
