Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA (Nvidia), a major American artificial intelligence (AI) chip manufacturer, warned on the 28th that the United States must allow American-made AI chips to be sold to China to ensure that Silicon Valley companies continue to maintain their dominance in the AI field.
"AFP" reported that Huang Renxun told the media when attending a company event in Washington: "We want the world to be built on the American technology stack (tech stack)." He used computer technology terms commonly used by developers.
He added: "But we also need to win over their developers in China. A policy that causes the United States to lose half of the world's AI developers will not be beneficial in the long run. It will hurt us more."
Huang Renxun made the above remarks before the expected meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the 30th. It is expected that Trump and Xi will discuss AI technology this time.
NVIDIA chips are currently unable to be sold in China due to the Chinese government’s ban, national security concerns, and ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China.
On the contrary, China has accelerated the development of its local chip industry to overcome Washington’s restrictions on the export of the most advanced chips used to drive AI systems.
The United States imposed the ban on national security concerns, believing that the export of advanced chips could give China a military advantage. This geopolitical impasse shows no signs of easing.
The Trump administration prefers to adopt a more detailed strategy on the sales of AI chips to China, but it faces strong doubts from China hawks in various US political circles, who advocate a stricter ban on AI technology.
Huang Renxun said: "This view……for understanding how AI works…… was something I advocated during the last (Biden) administration, but I feel it was not adopted because to some extent some people think that excluding them and hurting them is more beneficial to us, but this is not the case."
Jen-Hsun Huang also expressed the hope that Trump can help guide policy directions, warning that if no action is taken, the U.S. technology industry's dominance of the global market may shrink.
