“In just two years we will increase the amount of AI computing capacity in Europe by a factor of 10,“ Huang told attendees at the French capital’s annual Vivatech trade fair, striding around the stage wearing his trademark leather jacket.
Nvidia’s chips have proved uniquely suited for generative AI, whether powering robots, software or self-driving cars.
Basing the billions of euros (dollars) worth of hardware in Europe would offer firms the “strategic autonomy they need”, Mistral chief Arthur Mensch told AFP, adding that the project would “strengthen European technological leadership”.
It will also strengthen work with Germany’s Siemens on so-called “digital twins” simluating real-world environments, and on automating industrial processes.
The world’s government chiefs “all want to have AI factories, they all want AI to be part of their infrastructure,“ Huang said.
“I’m so happy that Europe is going all-in on AI,“ he said.
The continent hosts “less than five percent of global computing power, whereas we consume 20 percent,“ French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said in a press briefing ahead of the leader’s visit to Vivatech.
With its ability to sell into China still crimped by American export restrictions, Nvidia is on the hunt for growth opportunities elsewhere around the world.
