Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Frames AI Tokens as the New Unit of Intelligence and Monetization

Nvidia ($NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang recently highlighted the evolving economics of artificial intelligence, describing tokens as the fundamental unit of intelligence and a new metered standard for monetization.
Speaking on how intelligence is generated and sold at scale, Huang emphasized that pricing compute output in dollars per million tokens fundamentally changes how market size is defined, making traditional revenue ceilings difficult to model.
By turning AI capability into a continuous, measurable commodity produced by modern data center "token factories," the paradigm shifts the tech sector from selling static software licenses to delivering dynamic, consumption-based cognitive output.
