 "‘China is going to win AI race’: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s warning to US")
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday warned that China is going to win the AI race.
Huang said that China’s lower energy costs and looser regulations —as compared to the United States that bogged down in regulatory hurdles— will make China victorious in the ongoing race to be the superpower of artificial intelligence (AI).
On the sidelines of Financial Times’ Future of AI Summit, Huang said that while new AI rules in various American states could result in 50 new regulations, Chinese energy subsidies have it more affordable for local technology companies to run Chinese alternatives to Nvidia’s AI chips.
“Power is free” in China, said Huang.
Huang has been pushing US President Donald Trump to allow the sale of the company’s advanced AI chips to China. He has said that China’s adoption of Nvidia’s AI chips is needed for the United States to stay on the top of AI race. But Trump has said he would not allow such sales.
“The most advanced, we will not let anybody have them other than the United States. We will let them deal with Nvidia but not in terms of the most advanced,” Trump told CBS News last week.
US & UK held back by cynicism, says Huang
Unlike China, the United States and United Kingdom are being held back by “cynicism”, according to Huang.
“We need more optimism,” Huang said.
On the other hand, the situation in China is such that government actively revises policies on the basis of feedback from businesses, according to the FT.
The newspaper has reported that China has boosted energy subsidies for several large data centres run by Chinese technology giants like ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent.
The scenario is same for local governments as well that have also provided incentives after Chinese technology groups complained to regulators about the increased costs of using domestic semiconductors from the likes of Huawei, the FT reported.
