When Jensen Huang, CEO of chip giant Nvidia, wanted to learn about a new field, he didn’t turn to books or experts, but asked AI to “explain it like it’s being explained to a 12-year-old.” Meanwhile, at Apple, Tim Cook uses his own technology to conquer hundreds of emails every day.
The above experiments are not far-fetched but a vivid picture of how AI is becoming the second brain of the heads of billion-dollar corporations.
This shift is not just happening at the individual level, but also reflects a huge economic wave. According to forecasts, the global AI market could reach $4.8 trillion by 2033. Consulting firm PwC has an even more impressive figure: AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the world economy by 2030.
Discover how five top CEOs are turning AI into indispensable assistants.
Jensen Huang (CEO Nvidia): AI - Private tutor every day
As the CEO of Nvidia - one of the few technology companies worth more than $3 trillion, Jensen Huang sees AI as an unlimited mentor.
“I see AI as my personal tutor every day,” he said at the Milken Institute Global Conference. “In areas that I’m not familiar with, I start with simple questions and gradually build up to a PhD level.”
For him, the best thing about AI is its ability to “democratize” knowledge. “Maybe only a few people in this room know how to program in C++. But 100% of you can use AI because it understands and communicates in any language you want.”
In his research work, Huang revealed that he uses Perplexity and ChatGPT “almost every day” to build a knowledge base before diving into in-depth questions.
Sam Altman (CEO OpenAI): Father of ChatGPT and AI "nanny"
Ironically, the creator of one of the world's most famous AIs uses it for a very mundane role: fatherhood. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, frankly admitted that he has constantly needed AI since having his first child.
“It’s clear that people have been raising children without ChatGPT for a long time,” he said. “But I don’t know how I would have managed without it.”
Altman primarily uses ChatGPT to understand the developmental stages of young children, turning the pioneering technology into a modern-day parenting handbook. He also uses AI for what he calls “pretty boring” tasks like handling emails and summarizing documents.

Satya Nadella (Microsoft CEO): Turn AI into a second "brain"
With a $13 billion investment in OpenAI and the launch of its virtual assistant Copilot, Microsoft is betting big on AI. And CEO Satya Nadella is its most enthusiastic user. He’s not just using AI in the office, he’s integrating it into everything.
One interesting habit of Nadella's is that instead of listening to podcasts, he uploads audio recordings to Copilot so he can discuss the content with his voice assistant on the go. At the office, Copilot is his right-hand man, helping him summarize emails in Outlook, messages in Teams, and prepare for important meetings via more than 10 "custom agents."
“I'm like a professional email typist now,” he quipped about how AI is changing his daily work.
Tim Cook (CEO Apple): When every minute is precious
Under Tim Cook, Apple has officially entered the AI race with the "Apple Intelligence" system. He is also a direct beneficiary of this technology. AI helps him save a lot of time, especially in summarizing long emails.
“It’s a few minutes saved here and there, and when you add it up over the course of a day, a week, a month, it’s really significant,” Cook said. “AI has really changed my life.”
His enthusiasm shows that Apple's strategy is not just to create products, but also to solve the most practical problems in users' lives.
Jeremy Wacksman (CEO Zillow): Spreading the power of AI throughout the organization
Working in real estate, Zillow CEO Jeremy Wacksman is also embracing AI quickly. He uses ChatGPT as an analyst, asking it to summarize data and complex meetings from a CEO's perspective to make quick decisions.
“This approach is many times more valuable than just reading the transcript or watching the video at 1.5x speed,” he asserted.
Wacksman doesn't just use AI for himself, he encourages his entire team to experiment and innovate with the technology. Zillow hosts regular "AI Days" and integrates tools like Replit into its product development process, all to build a culture of innovation from within.
From the tense boardroom to the mundane moments in the living room, AI is quietly reshaping the way we learn, make decisions, and live. More than just a tool, AI has become a silent companion: sometimes a tutor, sometimes an advisor, sometimes even a digital “nanny.”
The way the world's most powerful CEOs are bringing AI into every corner of their daily lives reveals one thing clearly: the future of work and leadership is no longer a matter of the future, but it is happening, right now.
