On Wednesday local time, Nvidia In an interview, CEO Jensen Huang stated, "China will win in artificial intelligence." The competition is based on a more favorable regulatory environment and lower energy costs .
This is seen as Huang's "most straightforward statement" to date regarding the US-China AI race.
Huang also criticized the current practices in the West, calling them "cynicism" (deliberate feigned ignorance) that hinders progress. He mentioned that new AI regulations in various US states could result in "50 new rules," which could stifle AI innovation and competition.
He also compared this approach to China's energy policy, mentioning that Chinese tech companies are able to operate domestically produced AI chips at a lower cost. .
Jensen Huang's warning reflects his growing frustration with the rising calls for regulation of AI chips in the United States.
"As I have long said, China is only a few nanoseconds behind the United States in the field of artificial intelligence ," Huang said in a separate interview late Wednesday.
This is not the first time Huang has made similar remarks. In September of this year, he stated that China is developing rapidly in the field of chip manufacturing and is currently only "a few nanoseconds" behind the United States. He called on the US government to relax export restrictions on China and allow US technology companies to compete in the Chinese market, believing that it would be in the interests of both China and the United States.
Jensen Huang has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Chinese market, not only because it represents huge business opportunities for Nvidia , but also because of China's scientific research capabilities.
“About 50% of the world’s AI researchers are from China,” Huang noted in August. “The vast majority of leading open-source models were created in China, so I think it’s quite important for US tech companies to be able to enter this market.”
