Silicon Valley Embraces New Breed of Bodyguards After Altman Attack, AI Backlash

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang cuts a distinctive image, habitually clad in one of his many leather jackets. But it wasn’t Huang’s outfit that caught the attention of another tech founder who saw him in Manhattan last year: it was the phalanx of security guards walking behind him. “He had a posse,” said the founder, who estimates Huang had at least five people in his detail. It’s not just Huang. This founder said he has also noticed increased security around others such Databricks’ Ali Ghodsi and Shopify’s Tobi Lütke at industry events.
