In a short period of time, neural networks have firmly established themselves as an extremely profitable and promising niche. Due to the incredible interest and opportunities offered by artificial intelligence, major powers cannot help but compete for supremacy.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that China is ‘literally nanoseconds behind’ the US in artificial intelligence and chip manufacturing. In an interview with the BG2 podcast on technology and investment, he reiterated his previous statements about the need for Nvidia and the American tech industry to actively compete in the Chinese market.
President Trump wants America to win the AI race. It will be a very long race, and he understands that now is the key moment. He wants the technology industry to work. He wants the whole world to be built on American technology.
Meanwhile, China is accelerating the creation of its own AI infrastructure. According to media reports, the authorities have obliged local data centres to purchase at least 50% of chips from domestic manufacturers in order to reduce dependence on American technologies. Huawei has become the leader of this movement with its Ascend 910B processors and non-CUDA solutions.
However, cooperation with China is becoming increasingly difficult for Nvidia. In August, the company had to suspend production of the H20 after the Chinese government raised safety concerns. And the Cyberspace Administration of China banned local corporations from purchasing Nvidia RTX Pro 6000D graphics cards, which were specifically designed for the Chinese market.
As a result, large companies, including Tencent, began to actively switch to their own hardware solutions based on Chinese chips.
