Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has expressed serious concerns about the\nfuture of American dominance in artificial intelligence. During an\ninterview on the Dwarkesh Podcast, he highlighted developments at\nDeepSeek, a Chinese AI company increasingly independent from US\ntechnology.<\/p>\n
Huang\u2019s principal concern centres on reports that DeepSeek\u2019s latest\nmodel, DeepSeek V4, will likely run on Huawei\u2019s Ascend chips rather than\nNvidia chips, which have long been the backbone of global AI\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe day when DeepSeek first runs on Huawei technology, that will be\na bad outcome for our country,\u201d Huang stated.<\/p>\n
He added that if global AI models begin to be optimised for non-US\narchitectures, America\u2019s position in the AI ecosystem could be\nundermined, potentially allowing China to assume a greater role.<\/p>\n
Chinese companies are combining multiple chips simultaneously,\noptimising software efficiency, and employing techniques such as\nMixture-of-Experts to boost performance without relying on the most\nadvanced hardware. Combined with a large pool of AI experts and\nrelatively low energy costs, the results remain competitive.<\/p>\n
Huang emphasised that AI competition is no longer solely about who\npossesses the most advanced chips, but also about software innovation,\nsystem efficiency, and control over the broader ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Huang also criticised the US government\u2019s approach, which he views as\nexcessively stringent in restricting technology exports to China.\nAccording to him, overly strict policies actually drive Chinese\ncompanies to build their own alternatives, which could ultimately harm\nthe US industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy doesn\u2019t the US create more balanced regulations so Nvidia can\nwin globally, rather than handing over the global market?\u201d he\nstressed.<\/p>\n
The situation is further complicated by the inconsistency in US\npolicy itself, with restrictions on Chinese AI companies being tightened\non one side whilst loosening slightly in certain aspects of chip supply\non the other.<\/p>\n
If DeepSeek succeeds in developing an AI model that runs entirely on\nHuawei chips, it could represent a turning point in the global AI\nindustry.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/nvidia-chief-warns-us-of-ai-threat-from-china-1780365657", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
