Key points
- Jensen Huang states AI's current R&D phase is 'Act 1', with 'Act 2' being 15x larger.
- The CEO predicts the global rollout of AI will drive massive market expansion beyond current levels.
- Huang argues investors have not missed the AI opportunity, as the major growth phase is still ahead.

While the article is framed within a stock investment context by The Motley Fool, Huang’s central thesis is that the commercialization phase of AI will dwarf the initial investment cycle, offering significant upside for stakeholders in the ecosystem.
