Cai, Ziyi; Krehel, Ondrej; Wang, Aolin; Wu, Mengqi; Zhai, Jingsheng

This study explores the third party risks associated with NVIDIA’s rapid growth as a leading provider of GPUs and AI technology. Despite NVIDIA’s remarkable stock performance, concerns arise around its risk management capabilities, especially given dependencies on third-party technology providers, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the broader implications of AI adoption. Key risks include competitor, vendor, supply chain, and cybersecurity threats, intensified by geopolitical and regulatory challenges. NVIDIA's partnerships and ecosystem expansion with firms like Lambda, World Wide Technology, and Deloitte highlight the dual nature of opportunities and risks in deploying AI infrastructure. This analysis emphasizes the importance of proactive risk assessment and a comprehensive mitigation framework to address the multifaceted challenges facing NVIDIA in the evolving AI landscape, where control over GPUs plays a pivotal role.
