Nvidia's CEO, Huang, expresses his discontent over the restrictions imposed on the company's chip production in China.
Nvidia to Boost U.K. AI Infrastructure with Trump-Backed Project
Nvidia, a leading manufacturer of processor chips, is set to bolster the U.K.'s artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure through a deal with the U.K. arm of Stargate, a Trump-backed AI project led by OpenAI. The deal involves the supply of tens of thousands of Nvidia's chips for data centers.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, is currently in London, coinciding with President Donald Trump's visit. Huang is expected to discuss the latest developments with the President at a state banquet hosted by the British government on Wednesday night.
Huang has not yet spoken to Trump about the recent restrictions on Nvidia's sales to China, but he expects Trump to ask him about it during their meeting. Nvidia is restricted from exporting its most advanced chips to China, a decision that has left Huang disappointed.
Despite the restrictions, Huang maintains a positive outlook, stating that Nvidia's job is to "serve those markets the best we can, if we can," and that the company is prepared to operate in the markets where it can. He also expressed understanding of the larger agendas between China and the United States and is patient about the situation.
It's worth noting that China is the world's second-biggest AI computing market, and Nvidia has contributed significantly more to the AI computing market in China than most companies. However, recent reports suggest that China's internet regulator is banning domestic tech companies from buying an Nvidia chip model tailored for the local market.
The US government representative likely to meet Huang during his trip to London is US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. They may discuss Nvidia's decision to limit sales of AI chips to China in this conversation.
In addition to the Stargate deal, Nvidia is planning to unveil a flurry of new investments during Trump's visit, aiming to strengthen the U.K.'s AI infrastructure. Huang has also stated that Nvidia will continue to be "supportive" of both the U.S. and Chinese governments as they "sort through these geopolitical policies," adding there's "not very much anxiety there."
Despite the challenges, Nvidia remains committed to its mission, ready to serve markets where it can, and patient in navigating the complex geopolitical landscape.
