NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang has advice for America if it wants to retain its dominance in the AI segment, and one of the ways for this is by eying Chinese AI talent.
NVIDIA’s CEO Advises the U.S. President to Focus on Talent Coming From China to Retain AI Lead
While the U.S. has the machines, it seems like China has the brains in the world of AI, and this isn’t just a simple statement; it is what NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang has been saying for a while. Now, in an interview with SCPS at the “Memos to the President” segment, Jensen claimed that America should look towards attracting Chinese talent if it wants to gain the edge in the AI segment, saying that more than 50% developers working on the technology lie in China alone. The next race isn’t for computing products; it might be for AI talent across the world.
50% of the world’s AI developers are in China. The first job of any platform is to win all developers. The American tech stack should be the global standard. Just as the American dollar is the global standard.
Huang’s narrative for pushing NVIDIA’s AI chips into China is that it would prevent Beijing from developing its alternatives, making the markets more reliant on American technology. He has been voicing his opposition to America’s strict regulation over AI chips for quite some time now, claiming that it will hinder progress. However, we have seen what China has managed to do with NVIDIA’s AI chips over the past few years, and startups like DeepSeek are an example of China’s AI talent that is far superior to what America has access to.
Some of the top names in the American AI industry are actually of Chinese origin, such as the founders of Scale AI, the famous Andrew Ng, and even Jensen himself. This shows that China has managed to produce individuals who dominate the global markets with their expertise, and the NVIDIA CEO has advised American businesses to look out for such people. China is said to have more than 50% of the world’s elite AI talent, and the nation has managed to make massive strides with the technology, despite being influenced by restrictions.
