繪圖晶片(GPU)大廠輝達(NVIDIA)財報與財測驚豔全市場，也證明這次AI浪潮並非空話，而是真材實料，這也帶動輝達股價25日狂飆26%，輝達執行長黃仁勳身價狂漲2000億元、身價超過1兆新台幣。黃仁勳今日早上9點也現身台大畢業典禮演講，擔任致詞嘉賓，給畢業生們勉勵與祝福，校方還貼心提供線上直播讓無法到場的人同步觀看。

台大此次畢典以「揚帆待發 勇於追夢」為規劃主軸，期許畢業生勤奮努力持之以恆朝理想前進，勇敢踏出舒適圈，不要放棄追尋夢想，成就更好的自己，這也是校長陳文章上任後首次主持畢業典禮。
有顯卡教父之稱的黃仁勳，身價超過新台幣1.04兆元，排名彭博億萬富豪榜第37位，此次台灣行首個公開行程就選在台大畢業典禮，全程將以英文發表演講，由台大提供文字翻譯，但不提供演講稿，演講結束後直接離開。
據了解，黃仁勳此次來台行程滿檔，今日除在台大畢業典禮用全英文演講，此行也將拜會台積電高層，並於5月29日出席COMPUTEX2023現場發表主題演講。該演講將於29日上午11時在南港展覽館2館7樓星光會議中心舉行，內容涵蓋加速運算與人工智慧。
黃仁勳：
「大家好，我今天本來想說……跟你們說台灣話。但是…越想越緊張。我在美國長大的，所以我的台灣話不是這麼標準，所以我今天跟你們說英文好不好？OK 我們來開始」
(以下開始為英文發言)
貴賓、家長，2023年台大畢業生，大家好
今天是你們特別的日子，家長的夢想也實現了(掌聲)(笑聲)
你們就要趕快離家，今天是榮耀的日子
家長犧牲了他們自己，成就了你們
我爸爸媽媽也在，我哥哥也在，就在這
我們跟我們的家長，展現我們的感謝。
十年前我第一次來台大，邀請我來看一間實驗室
我來的時候，他秀給我看他們做的東西
整個房間的NVIDIA遊戲顯卡
走道上是大同電扇，散熱用的
他自己做了一個超級電腦，用遊戲顯卡，用台灣人的方式
他在這裡，做了最早的NVIDIA JOURNEY
他很驕傲，他說因為你的關係，我可以完成我的事業
我們公司的價值在於幫這些人完成他們的事業
我畢業的時候，世界還比較簡單
沒有液晶電視
還沒有手機，那是1994年，IBM PC跟MAC PC
開始了個人電腦革命
你們現在的世界更複雜
車子開始自動駕駛，40年前PC出現，再來我們發明了AI
讓電腦可以自動執行
AI will create new job that didn’t exists before
like prompt engineering
these job every existed before
automated job will obsolete some job
AI will change every job
supercharging programmer, designer, and manufacturer planner
every company and you must learn to take advantages of AI
do amazing things with AI copiilor
we are the begging at a new area
like PC and internet
but AI is far more fundamental
how we write software to hot it process
in everywhere this is a rebirth of computer industry
an opportunities for company in Taiwan
my journey started 40 years before your
1984 is a perfect year to graduate
i predict 2023 will be as well
What can I tell you
today is the most successful day of yours so far
you graduated from here
I was also successful, until I started NVIDIA
There is experience failure, big ones
all humiliating and embarrassing
many doomed us
let me tell you three
Our first application is 3D graphics for PC gaming
we use forward texturating, which is lower cost
we want saga do build their console with us
with 1 year dev, we found the architecture is wrong
it was poor
and mS about to launch based on inverse methods
if we completed that console, we will build big technology to catch up Windows
but we’ll be out of money if we finished the contract
I contacted SAGA’s CEO , said the approach is wrong
they should find another contractor
we had to stop
but I need SAGA to pay us in whole
or we will be out of business
CEO of SAGA, to his credit and my amazement, agree
his generosity gave us 3 month to live
we build RIVA 28
save the company
confronting our mistake and with humility
asking for help saved NVIDIA
in 2007, we announced CUDA computing
we want it to boost scientific computing, physical computing
it was incredibly hard, rarely done in history
we use GEFORECE our gaming GPU
but the cost was very high
our profit took hit for many years
our market caps below 1 billion we suffer many years of poor performance
but we persevere, we believe the time for acc computing will come
then the application came
CT reconstruction , molecular construction
image processing
one domain after another came
our dev write algorithm and chip speed up
2014 Alex trained on our GPU started a big bang of AI
fortunately we realize the potential of deep learning
we risk everything to pursue deep learning
years later, AI revolution started
NVIDIA is the engine for it
we invented CUDA for AI
but the journey forged our character , to endure pain and suffering is needed for vision
one more story
in 2010, GOOGLE dev android to computer with excellent graphics
NVIDIA computing power made us good partner for android
we were successful, the stock surge
we were learning how to build models
the phone market was huge
we could fight for share
instead, we sacrifice the market
our mission is to build computer to solve problems
we should dedicated to vision
it paid off
by leaving the phone market, we invented a new one
a new computer for robotics
with NN, safety architecture to run AI
it was a 0 billion dollar market
from a giant phone market to create robotic market
now we stared a new industry
retreat does not come easy
for bright people like you
but strategic retreat, deciding what to give up
decide the core of success
2023 graduates, like me, when PC and chip revolution
you are at the starting line of AI
every industry will be revolutionized
ready for new IDeas, your ideas
in 40 years we created the PC, internet, mobile, clouds, and now the AI era
What will you create?
whatever it is, one like we did
run after we created
run , don’t walk
remember, either you’re running for food
or running from being food
我希望那個地方可以講中文
所以大家聽得懂
either you’re running for food
or you’re running from being food
and oftentimes, you can’t tell which
either way , run
on your journey take away some of my
made mistakes, ask for help
endure pain and suffering to realize your dreams
makes sacrifice to dedicate to your life work
