Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has sounded his loudest alarm about the U.S. falling behind to China on AI, telling the Financial Times that “China is going to win the AI race.”
Why it matters: The trillion-dollar bet on AI’s success, pushed by the Trump administration, hinges in large part on Nvidia, the dominant maker of chips for AI computing.
- Huang’s warning reflected an apparent frustration with mounting calls for regulation in the U.S.
What they’re saying: On the sidelines of an FT conference in London Wednesday, Huang said that states in the U.S. were considering new rules that could result in “50 new regulations,” while Beijing was subsidizing energy costs to encourage local companies to run Chinese alternatives to his company’s chips.
