In a blunt assessment that sent shockwaves through the tech and policy worlds, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has warned that China is poised to dominate the artificial intelligence (AI) race – not because of superior technology, but due to crippling energy costs and regulatory burdens hobbling Western competitors [cnbc.com]:

The prolific tech leader was speaking on the sidelines of the FT's Future of AI Summit [soylentnews.org] (paywalled), where he warned that China would beat the U.S. in artificial intelligence thanks to lower energy costs and looser regulations.

The comments, which CNBC could not verify independently, would represent Huang's starkest warning yet that the U.S. is at risk of losing its global lead in advanced AI technologies.

After the FT published their report, the Nvidia chief softened his tone on X [x.com]:

“As I have long said, China is nanoseconds behind America in AI. It’s vital that America wins by racing ahead and winning developers worldwide."
