Core Content
NVIDIA CEO's Statement
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang explicitly stated at the company's annual GTC conference: "Every company in the world today needs to have an OpenClaw strategy." This refers to the AI agents on the OpenClaw platform that can schedule meetings, send emails, and perform other tasks on behalf of users.
OpenAI Acquisition Background
OpenAI acquired this open-source platform just weeks after users began sharing numerous cases of interactions with AI agents. This acquisition highlights the tech giant's emphasis on the AI agent ecosystem.
Corporate Adoption Challenges
Julie Teigland, Global Vice Chair of EY, agrees with Jensen Huang's viewpoint but points out that companies face difficulties in driving employee adoption of AI. Executives are still trying to overlay AI onto existing business models rather than reimagining them.
EY itself is also exploring its OpenClaw strategy and cannot comment on how it plans to promote the platform to its consultants.
