James Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, has been the focus of attention at this year’s GTC conference, which centers on AI.
Nvidia’s unveiling of its DLSS 5 AI software, which relies on generative AI to upgrade the visual fidelity of characters and environments, has gotten a ton of blowback from gamers who think it makes games look infinitely worse. Besides that, Huang has provided some comments about the popular open-source autonomous AI agent called OpenClaw and marked it as the next major evolution in how people interact with the growing technology.

During this year’s GTC conference, Huang took some time to speak with “Mad Money’s” Jim Cramer about OpenClaw and championed it as a major AI tool that everyone should keep an eye on. “It is now the largest, most popular, the most successful open-sourced project in the history of humanity,” Huang said. “This is definitely the next ChatGPT.”
For the uninitiated, OpenClaw is an autonomous AI agent that allows users to create their own AI assistants that can then carry out actions such as checking their calendar, answering texts, accessing files, etc. What’s interesting about OpenClaw is how its AI agents don’t need much input from its users to act — it behaves just like humans after being told how to by their programmers, as evidenced by those same AI agents engaging in their own dating service and even creating their own religion.
Huang spoke more about OpenClaw and noted that it could transform into something grander and greatly expand what humans can do with AI. “In one line of code, you can create for yourself your own agent. Then after that, just ask the agent to do whatever you want,” he went on to say. “They’ll go off and learn how to design a kitchen. It will come back with a design and reflect on that.”
Huang also stated that OpenClaw will benefit humans’ individual expertise across many talents as they work with their AI agents to create. “Every carpenter can now be an architect. Every plumber will become an architect. We are going to elevate the capabilities of everyone,” he noted.
Nvidia has worked with OpenClaw
Nvidia is already working closely with OpenClaw to make its AI agents easier to command and more secure.
The tech giant recently announced NemoClaw, a new and improved version of OpenClaw that incorporates Nvidia’s software tools onto its platform. A press release described how it works: “NemoClaw uses NVIDIA Agent Toolkit software to optimize OpenClaw in a single command. It installs OpenShell to provide open models and an isolated sandbox that adds data privacy and security to autonomous agents. This provides the missing infrastructure layer beneath claws to give them the access they need to be productive, while enforcing policy-based security, network and privacy guardrails.”
In that same press release, Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, expressed his excitement over Nvidia’s software stack helping his AI tech improve. “OpenClaw brings people closer to AI and helps create a world where everyone has their own agents,” he said. “With NVIDIA and the broader ecosystem, we’re building the claws and guardrails that let anyone create powerful, secure AI assistants.”
With Nvidia now working closely with OpenClaw via NemoClaw, it’s good to know that Nvidia is employing high-grade security measures to make sure the abundance of AI agents that are created can be deployed safely.
