Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang raises alarms about the speed of China’s artificial intelligence push, saying the country could overtake the United States unless American firms accelerate development and talent recruitment.
Jensen Huang says the world’s second-largest economy will come out on top of the artificial intelligence race amid lower energy costs, reports The Financial Times.
“China is going to win the AI race.”
He also notes that US states are exploring fresh rules that could give birth to “50 new regulations.”
In a statement, Huang says, “It’s vital that America wins by racing ahead and winning developers worldwide.”
In October, Huang warned that the world’s second-largest economy is not lagging meaningfully in AI capabilities and remains one of the most formidable technology ecosystems on the planet.
“Others say they’re years behind us. Two years? Three years? Come on — they’re nanoseconds behind us.”
He also said that China is an underregulated competitor with an innovative and hungry talent base.
“People don’t realize this. They are very lightly regulated. People think that they’re centrally governed. But remember, the genius of China was distributed economic systems. All of these 33 provinces and local economies have driven enormous internal competition and vibrancy, which, of course, has some side effects…”
Huang also called on regulators to allow domestic firms to scale globally.
“What we need to do as a country is enable our technology industry.”
