Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has built Nvidia into the most valuable chip company in the U.S. It’s a pioneer in both graphics and artificial intelligence technology. And now the awards are catching up with him, as he was named one of Time magazine’s top 100 most influential people.

On November 18, he will also receive the chip industry’s highest honor, the Robert N. Noyce Award. These recognitions for Huang — as well as others who made Time’s list (Tesla founder Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook) — show how important the technologies that his company has built have become to the world.
