LONDON – Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has warned that China will beat the United States in the artificial intelligence race, the Financial Times reported on Nov 5.<\/p>\n
\u201cChina is going to win the AI race,\u201d Mr Huang told the newspaper on the sidelines of the Financial Times\u2019 Future of AI Summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I have long said, China is nanoseconds behind America in AI,\u201d Mr Huang said in a statement posted on X late on Nov 5.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s vital that America wins by racing ahead and winning developers worldwide,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The AI chip leader\u2019s chief in October said that the US can win the AI battle if the world, including China\u2019s massive developer base, runs on Nvidia systems. <\/p>\n
He, however, lamented that the Chinese government has shut it out of its market.<\/p>\n
China\u2019s access to advanced AI chips, particularly those produced by Nvidia \u2013 the <\/p>\n world\u2019s most valuable company<\/p>\n <\/a> by market capitalisation \u2013 remains a flashpoint in its tech rivalry with the United States, as both nations vie for supremacy in cutting-edge computing and AI.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want America to win this AI race. No doubt about that,\u201d Mr Huang said in the Nvidia developers\u2019 conference held in Washington in October.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want the world to be built on American tech stack. Absolutely the case. But we also need to be in China to win their developers. A policy that causes America to lose half of the world\u2019s AI developers is not beneficial in the long term, it hurts us more,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
