CNBC Scott Wapner with Brad Gerstner - February 6th, 2026

The podcast explores the significant capital expenditure by Big Tech companies on AI infrastructure and its implications for the market and investors. Brad Gerstner and Jensen Huang discuss the current "once-in-a-generation" infrastructure build-out driven by AI, comparing it to the interstate highway system in scale. Huang emphasizes that AI's increasing utility and profitability justify the massive investments, with AI transforming software from a tool to an intelligence-generating agent. Gerstner notes the market's uncertainty due to the rapid pace of AI development, leading to discounted valuations for software companies. Both address concerns about competition from China in the AI sector, advocating for the U.S. to maintain its technological edge and global market presence.
