Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Expects Chip Sales To Double Next Year as He Downplays AI Slowdown Calls: 'When a Product is Not Safe...'

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang expects the company to double its chip sales in the coming year. “I expect Nvidia to sell twice as many chips as this next year as we do this year,” Huang said at a summit with King Charles III in Scotland on Thursday, CNBC reported. He attributed this expected growth to rising demand for AI across sectors and economies. “You can see that in almost every single country that we’re in, people want to invest in AI,” he said. Nvidia does not disclose its total chip sales volume. In the GTC October 2025 Keynote, Huang reported that Nvidia had shipped 6 million Blackwell GPUs in the four quarters. The Nvidia CEO, alongside representatives from Alphabet Inc.‘s Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOG), DeepMind, OpenAI and Anthropic, attended the U.K. summit to discuss AI safety, an issue that has drawn growing attention amid concerns over humanity’s ability to control increasingly advanced AI. Huang, who has acknowledged AI safety issues but pushed back on a broader slowdown call, said, "When a product is not safe, we should hold it back and keep engineering it."
