Khaberni - Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicted that China will surpass the United States in the artificial intelligence race, according to The Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
Huang told the newspaper on the sidelines of the Future of Artificial Intelligence summit organized by The Financial Times, "China will win the artificial intelligence race".
In a statement published on the X platform late Wednesday, Huang said, "As I have long said, China is only slightly behind America in the field of artificial intelligence. It's essential that America wins by competing and capturing developers worldwide."
The CEO of the leading AI chip company stated in October that the United States could win the AI battle if the world, including the massive developer base in China, relies on Nvidia systems.
However, he expressed regret that the Chinese government had banned Nvidia from its market, and China's access to advanced AI chips, especially those produced by Nvidia, remains a flashpoint in its technology rivalry with the United States as the two nations compete for supremacy in advanced computing and artificial intelligence.
The Importance of Presence in China
Huang said at a Nvidia developers conference held in Washington last month, "We want America to win the artificial intelligence race. No doubt about it.. We want the world built on American technologies. That’s absolutely right. But we also need to be in China to win over its developers. A policy that costs America half of the AI developers in the world is not beneficial in the long run, it causes us greater harm."
President Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast last Sunday that Nvidia's most advanced Blackwell chips should be exclusively reserved for American customers.
Earlier, Huang stated that Nvidia had not applied for US export licenses to sell chips in China, highlighting Beijing's stance towards the company, and Trump added that Washington would allow China to deal with Nvidia, but "not in terms of the most advanced semiconductors".
