Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has firmly stated that China should not have access to its "latest and greatest" AI GPU technology, notably its Blackwell and Rubin lines, arguing that the United States should have a lead in AI technology. As per Nikkei Asia, Huang says Nvidia are "huge supporters of the United States having the first, the most, and the best."
The comments by the head of Nvidia came during the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles, an event attended by bankers, businessmen, and investors. He stated that the global reach of American AI accelerators helps increase tax income, which strengthens the economy and in turn supports national security. At the same time, Huang emphasized that China should not receive the 'latest and greatest' AI accelerators, such as the current-generation Blackwell or next-generation Rubin. This is a way for the U.S. to maintain its lead in the frontier AI models.
