Investors who think of NVIDIA Corp NVDA as a chip stock are missing the point, Ritholtz Wealth Management CEO Josh Brown said Thursday on CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report."

Nvidia is a platform company, Brown said: "They own the programming language that is going to power the AI revolution."

Many of the companies in the Fortune 500 are going to spend the next decade automating as many processes as possible, Brown said. Nvidia is going to be the company that enables these companies to do so, he added.

Brown owns the stock and doesn't have any plans to sell it anytime soon.
