AI Summary
Jensen Huang and his wife Lori have donated $75 million to Vanderbilt University’s art, architecture, and design campus in San Francisco. The gift follows a recent $1 million raise for the Edge Institute, where Huang’s leather jacket was auctioned to support a nonprofit that hosts pop‑up villages for tech, science, culture, and society collaborations. The Huangs say the donation reflects their belief that art helps decide how technology is used. The funds will support Vanderbilt’s creative programs in the San Francisco campus.
