NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: OpenClaw will be like Windows, a "new computer" essential for all enterprises

IT House, March 17 — At the 2026 GTC held earlier today, NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang delivered a keynote speech, calling on global companies to seize the current AI intelligence explosion and develop their own “OpenClaw Strategy.”

Today, any company in the world needs its own OpenClaw strategy—a strategy for an intelligent agent system, which is the new computer.

Huang highly praised OpenClaw, a popular open-source AI intelligent agent project that has sparked a worldwide craze. Although its founder has been recruited by OpenAI, OpenClaw will continue to exist and develop as an open-source project.

Huang said, “OpenClaw enables us to create personal intelligent agents, and the significance of this is incredible.” He further pointed out that OpenClaw “provides what the industry needs most at its most critical moment.”

To better illustrate the potential of OpenClaw, Huang compared it to milestones in the history of PC development. He believes that the significance of OpenClaw for artificial intelligence is similar to that of the Windows operating system for personal computing.

Additionally, he compared it to influential technologies such as Linux, Kubernetes cloud projects, and HTML. Huang explained, “It allows the entire industry to grasp this open-source software stack and innovate based on it.”

While praising OpenClaw, Huang also pointed out a major challenge in its application: security. To address this, NVIDIA announced the launch of a proprietary version based on OpenClaw—NemoClaw. This product allows users to add privacy and security controls to their AI intelligent agents.

“It has a network guardrail and a privacy router, so we can protect these ‘claws’ from executing commands arbitrarily within the company, ensuring safe operation,” Huang explained.

To promote NemoClaw, NVIDIA held a special “Claw Building” event during the conference, allowing attendees to get hands-on and develop their own customized AI intelligent agents.

Peter Steinberg, founder of OpenClaw, said, “OpenClaw brings people closer to AI and helps create a world where everyone has their own intelligent agent.”

In addition to announcing strategies related to OpenClaw, Huang also revealed several major news on the first day of GTC, including the launch of a new inference system integrated with Groq technology. Previously, NVIDIA had reached a $20 billion deal with this AI chip startup. Meanwhile, Huang predicted that by 2027, market demand for its Blackwell and Rubin AI chips will reach $1 trillion.
